Santa Rita Rd-Greaterville
Cycling Route
Details
35.11 mi
2,697 ft
Our feature ride starts at the Copper Brothel Brewery in Sonoita because that's where we want it to end.
Like the San Rafael Valley, the east foothills of the Santa Rita Mountains has stunning views and seemingly endless miles of riding. Santa Rita Rd is a gravel bikers dream surface. It slowly transitions to more traditional double track as it winds around through Gardner Canyon towards Greaterville, bypassing Kentucky Camp. This route runs through a few accesses to the Arizona Trail and passes the road going to Melendrez Pass.
Winding down through Fish Camp Rd and Gardner Canyon Rd, the last portion of the ride gives you a taste of the Empire Ranch area before returning to the Copper Brothel Brewery in Sonoita for after ride food and beer.
There are no services outside of Sonoita. The route is very isolated. Please plan on riding self supported.
