Tucson Day 6 - The Grand Finale - La Milagrosa (the miracle)




If your following this blog, I added to all the old post for this trip so be sure to go back and read about all six days.
 
Local Tucsonian Duncan was our trusty guide today. We started at the hike-a-bike trailhead for Bugs Springs. Burrrr! it was a cold start at 8:00 AM. Bugs is a fast ripping trail down to Prison Camp - another fast ripping trail! After a breather, we went up Molino Basin over a saddle then down the AZ Trail to the Miligrosa turn-off. What a trail! Tough climbing followed by even tougher descending! Duncan showed us a few moves on the "Waterfall" - yikes! Greg biffed it on a cactus - "Ouch" All and all, a great wrap to an epic week of riding in the brutal but beautiful Sonoran desert!!!
