Tucson Trip, Day 2 - Part II

The second ride of the day was a fun little zone called Sweetwater Preserve.  The preserve is located in the eastern foothills of the Tucson Mountains of Southern Arizona, west of Tucson.  This park was laid out specific for mountain biking, although it's shared by hikers and equestrians too.  Ripping loops that are short but fun with not a lot of climbing.

The trails are well marked and signed

Yours truly among the giant saguaro's

desert (Mule) deer!  We saw six..

Greg's Notes:

 Our second ride of the day featured a tour of Sweetwater Preserve. This is a relatively new trail system on the west side of Tucson. Not a real big area, but the trail builders have done an outstanding job of sprinkling the area with a nice assortment of single-track trails. No big elevation changes here, but the trails are rocky and demand your attention. Tom and Greg saw a herd of six deer. Deer in the middle of the desert

- pretty cool!
