Dugas Gravel Loop

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. "
