The first time I saw the desert was in 1990. At that time I was living in the Southwest US in Durango, near the Four Corners where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah converge - you can actually stand in all four states at once.
During the Durango winters we’d drive south to ride mountain bikes in Arizona or New Mexico. My teammate at the time,
@lmuhich15 knew every secret spot to ride and camp…the desert landscapes she took me to blew my mind. She introduced me to petroglyphs, ruins, and old pueblo sites of the Hopi and Zuni tribes - once these landscapes get into your veins, you can’t quit!
Growing up in Canada I imagined deserts much differently; sand dunes and skulls, desolate and empty. But there’s so much life in the desert, and so many animals and plants that have adapted to this harsh environment of heat, prickly things, snakes, scorpions and flash floods. The sunrises and sunsets are epic every single day, and the riding here is endless…
Now turn your phone sideways and take a rip with
