The 20-mile road to Mount Lemmon in itself is world-class, transitioning between seven ecological zones from saguaro cactus to Canadian pine forests. Add on Redington Road and the dirt backside of Lemmon and you have a real adventure... -

632 mi. / 1,017 km12 daysHope 1000
63 Feb 28 Lael Wilcox EuropeSpanning 1,000 kilometers across Switzerland and nearly 100,000 feet of climbing, the Hope 1000 bikepacking route is steep, yet still very forgiving. Vertical miles lead to singletrack through meadows, crystal clear lakes, abbeys with courtyards, and, of course, stunning views. Here, physical challenge is paired with logistical ease. A bakery or a hot meal is never far, but along the way, you are basically alone among the pristine, natural beauty.
