Mackinac Island, Michigan - Arch Rock... everyone takes this photo, figured I had to get one too. Was on a bike tour in Michigan and visited the island, not great for bike riding due to all of the horse “droppings” all over the roads, but a beautiful place nonetheless.

Salt Lake City to Tucson

22 September - 13 October 2023

My last post was on September 14th, just before I headed to Salt Lake City to start my long-anticipated ride to Tucson. Since then I’ve had an amazing three-week adventure on the bike, I’ve had numerous enjoyable rides around Seattle, and I’ve spent hours going through the resulting photos and notes. But I’ve also struggled with my motivation and my interest in maintaining this blog. Regardless of what I end up doing with the blog, I thought it would be good to write up a summary of the recent trip. Whether I flesh out individual days of the ride or whether I continue to post about future rides remains unclear.

======

I rode out of Salt Lake City on Friday, September 22nd. I rode into Tucson on Friday, October 13th. Along the way, there were 22 days of amazing landscapes and incredible riding. I traveled around 1150 miles (50+ miles/day, more than 450 of it on gravel roads and dirt tracks. I suspect I walked my bike a total of 4-5 miles on steep or rough segments. There was 83,000’ of climbing, including several sustained climbs of 4-5,000’. Much of the first week was spent climbing to or riding above 10,000’. I camped a little less than half the nights. I never took a full day off, though I considered it in Flagstaff.

Highlights. There were a lot of them. Big Cottonwood Canyon and Guardsman Pass. Skyline Drive on the Wasatch Plateau. The aspens in the valley of Sevenmile Creek. Hell’s Backbone Road. Scenic Route 12 from Boulder to Escalante. Bryce and Red Canyons. Camping at Rock Point on the edge of Marble Canyon. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The San Francisco Peaks. The Mogollon Rim and the amazing descent to the Salt River.

The weather was great, except for some rain in southern Utah that required a major detour to avoid muddy roads and added two days to the trip. Temperatures were cold at night, particularly on the Wasatch Plateau, but it was great during the day. Heat was never a problem during the ride itself, though the weekend after I got to Tucson, temperatures rose into the high 90s.

My route evolved over many months of pouring over maps and checking online sources. Some of the territory was familiar to me and that influenced decisions about places I wanted to visit (or felt okay skipping). I wanted to experience as wide a range of landscapes and geologic provinces as I could. I wanted to avoid busy highways, but I also didn’t want a route that was too rough and too remote for my bike or my capabilities (particularly riding solo).

The result was a wonderful mix of roads and trails. Almost 600 miles of my route was on the Western Wildlands Route (courtesy of Bikepacking Roots), a north-south route from Canada to Mexico that parallels, but lies farther west than, the better known Great Divide Mountain Bike Route.

Here’s a list of each day, showing mileages and elevation gain. I may eventually work up descriptions of each day and link them here, but haven’t done so yet. I posted fairly regularly on Instagram (@gravelbeach) and that remains a source of photos and limited narrative.

9-22 Salt Lake City to Brighton 28.4 miles 4122’

9-23 Brighton to Currant Creek Summit 41.8 6634’

9-24 Currant Creek Summit - Scofield 67.6 5012’

9-26 Skyline - Salina 66.5 3856’

9-27 Salina - Fish Lake 44.2 5748’

9-28 Fish Lake - Posey Lake 54.1 4385’

9-29 Posey Lake - Boulder 23.7 2440’

9-30 Boulder - Cannonville 64.7 4176’

10-1 Cannonville - Hatch 33.1 2342’

10-2 Hatch - Kanab 57.4 2440’

10-3 Kanab - Page 76.8 2449’

10-4 Page - Rock Point 45.4 3348’

10-5 Rock Point - Cameron 65.1 1997’

10-6 Cameron - Grandview 47.6 4519’

10-7 Grandview - Kelly Tank 54.0 2709’

10-8 Kelly Tank - Flagstaff 35.6 2405’

10-9 Flagstaff - Kehl Springs 72.5 3618’

10-11 Young - Globe 67.6 6032’

10-12 Globe - Willow Springs 53.7 4172’

10-13 Willow Springs - Tucson 61.0 1696’

LINK to Ride with GPS: Collection of all 22 rides

TOTALS (numbers vary depending on later corrections):

1170.6 miles (53.21 miles/day) (1884 kms)

690 miles paved / 480 milesunpaved

83016’ (3773’/day) (25,303 m)

My bike and my gear worked out well. I rode my Salsa Warbird with a bikepacking setup. I’m on 42mm tires (tubeless). I had no tire problems, despite sharp chunky volcanic rocks and the potential for goathead thorns. My suspension stem and seat post make the rough roads a little less jarring. My only mechanical problem was a missing chain ring bolt that I discovered on the second day and was able to get fixed. I replaced the brake pads in Flagstaff. Shifting worked fine (and continues to work smoothly after shipping the bike home and adding another few hundred miles around here).

My body held together, despite turning 65 on Day 4. I never had any problems with altitude besides the labored breathing you’d expect from 5000’ climbs to 10,000’. My lips were badly chapped and my skin got darker. My hands and seat were sore at times, but that was to be expected and was never an obstacle. My legs were sore when riding, but recovered quickly.

I’d been thinking about this ride ever since I wrapped last year’s trip from Whitefish MT to Salt Lake City. It was an inevitable second chapter to what became an epic ride that stretched from border to border (a one day’s ride from either end). Combined, the two-part adventure covered 2200 miles and 130,000’ climbing over 40 days of riding.
