In July 2022, Victoria Cedillo and Greg McCahon took off on a multi-year bikepacking trip from Alaska. Victoria’s latest video documents their ride between Las Vegas, Nevada, and Sonora, Mexico. The 1,400-kilometer journey brought them to some incredible places, including Grand Canyon National Park, the Arizona Trail, jaw-dropping campsites, and many beautiful viewpoints. Watch Victoria’s 15-minute video below and scroll down for a brief summary of the ride and some of the illustrations she made for the video.
Words by Victoria Cedillo
In this video, we embark on a 1,400-kilometer (869-mile) journey across the entire state of Arizona, traversing remarkable destinations such as the Grand Canyon and the Arizona Trail until we reach the border with Mexico in Agua Prieta, Sonora. Throughout the video, you’ll witness detailed glimpses of each location accompanied by some information about them, as well as encounters with the wonderful people we meet along the way.
As we pedal through breathtaking landscapes and connect with different people, the experience of traveling by bicycle becomes increasingly enriching. Even though we had no idea how Mexico was going to be on a bike, we consistently find ourselves reminded that there’s always something valuable to learn from this lifestyle. We hope you enjoy this extraordinary journey and our perspective on it!
