This is the last day of riding in Arizona.

Kurt is taking us to Salt River Canyon.

Everybody met up at basecamp...






...and we took off from there.








Another beautiful day to be riding!







Short stop for fuel.








Back rolling...








...we start descending...

...these sweepers headed down a pretty steep grade have been fun, but if you look closely, there is a "Fun Ahead" sign!







This road is a blast...







...the views are interesting...







...and the road surface is a good quality...







...with the requisite curves...








...it is a lot of fun!

As I was saying...it is a lot of fun. But something is different...a look back...







...another look ahead...








We stop here at the "entrance" to Salt River Canyon and I figured out what is different. IT IS HOT.








We have gone done so much in elevation, that the nice comfortable weather we've been riding in for the last 2.5 days is no longer...








...it feels like "Arizona" now.









After heading down a bit more, we stop at this scenic overlook.

This is a great overlook...






240 degrees of great views...







...Amazing!







Back rolling...









...we continue to lose elevation...and it is getting quite a bit warmer.








We stop down at the bottom, near the "river".

This is the view of the "river" and the bridge we just crossed getting to this little stop.








Kurt was going to take us thru the canyon...but most of us thought it was too warm to enjoy...we wanted to climb back up to higher elevation and cooler temps.

When we decided to head back up...Kurt and I wanted to open it up a bit for a few miles. Here's a little vid of that -

and a few pics...








...there's the bridge that we left a minute or so ago...






...that Mary took as we sprinted back up to the scenic overlook.

After we got back together, we started the ride back up to higher (cooler) elevations.







Kurt took us back a different way...








...we may have, but I don't remember going over Geronimo Pass earlier.








We're back at some elevation now...








...and soon after, back in some woods!!!







We stopped at this Casino, some went in for lunch, others of us stayed outside and ate the lunch we had packed.

Back rolling...







What a great 3 days of riding, visiting, and enjoying Arizona...







We're up high now. Mary in the Mirror.







Enjoying the great day of riding.







Pulling into basecamp...







...for the last time this trip.

What a crazy trip this has been. We stopped at a museum on our way back home...got this one pic-
