Gravel Route
On S Orme Rd, Yavapai County, Arizona
Pretty sweet gravel loop. Option to add 10 mile out and back climb up to Porcupine Mountain (awesome views!). The 25 miles from Old Cherry Road to Dugas Road are mostly rough to very rough, such that a hardtail mountain bike will provide a more enjoyable ride. Take a left at Dugas Rd for a half mile detour into historic Dugas.

Forgot to add that the section from I-17 to Dugas Road should not be attempted when wet and rainy. Beware of peanut butter mud!
