EXPLORING THE DESERT TRAILS

Today we rented a 5-passenger quad and took to the Arizona desert trails with Eric, Beth, two other couples and a couple of single guys one driving a dirt bike and the other an old ATV.   If you find yourself in or near Florence, AZ, be sure to call Desert Vista ATV Rentals & Tours (480) 789-1345 and they'll set you up with a first-class ATV, helmet, goggles, full tank of gas and bottled water.  They drop off the ATV wherever you want and pick it up when you done ... what a good deal.  We were on the trail from 8:30 until 4:30 and had so much fun.  Denis, Daniel and I took turns driving.  Some of the trails were narrow with steeps drops, switchbacks and lots of gullies, dips, ruts and rocks.  So much fun!

Spectacular views

The gang - the higher elevations were chilly but the sun was nice

These guys were way up on a ridge but Denis' zoom got a decent photo

Daniel gives us thumbs up 

Kerchief and goggles are a must because it gets pretty dusty
Boy are we tired but we some how managed to grill up a couple of chicken breasts, boil some baby potatoes and whip together a coleslaw.  The guys needed pool and hot tub therapy but I enjoyed a hot shower and a good hair conditioner.

Thanks for stopping in.

  3. It was a fun and long, dusty and sometimes very windy day but the vistas and sighting of the sheep were spectacular!
