On Saturday, we biked the Yellow Jacket Canyon portion of the Kokopelli Trail. We had done this ride back in 2007 and the notes in my book had the comment "Mary said we don't need to do this ride again."
In mountain biking, one is always looking for that "next great ride." I think part of it is the adrenaline of newness. The adventure of the unknown. Some rides are so great you go back to them again and again learning every curve of the trail and every line down the rocky slope. Other trails you never want to see again.
I guess this one falls into the latter category, and we should have heeded Mary's comment from the last time we did it. It is not that bad of a ride, but it did seem uphill all the way (which I never understand on a loop trail). And it was hot. And windy. With patches of interminable sand. Other than that, I didn't think it was bad.
The road of sand.
Amazing prickly cactus flower (with bugs).
Great view of the Colorado River.
