Here is a rough draft of the trails I might ride on my 2015 Trip West this is AZ trails only, I will also be riding NW of Vegas too. Working on those trails next. http://www.pilotodyssey.com/Big%20West% ... posed.html This could all change depending on weather might end up in Yuma if it gets too cold  Updated For those who rather use Google Earth here is the file.

Looks like a blast. Do you typically stage at a parking spot and then just wing it for a fresh loop back to camp? I assume cause your tracks look like straight shot, one way. That one that crosses the Colorado River might require a ramp or paddles :) |

That one that crosses the Colorado River might require a ramp or paddles :) I just need starting points and a rough idea where to start make it up on the fly. The long straight tracks are following power lines, zoom in tight you can see the wires and towers, most all my trips start by locating utilities power lines and pipe lines mostly, they all have service roads, those service roads all have trails that spider off going in all directions, when riding I look for mountains this part of the country most the mountains has been mined or explored, most the time they took bulldozers and cut many trails to ride. Zoom in tight with Google Earth their is a bridge to cross the river. Their are online maps showing all the power lines and pipe lines, I found it easier to use the map that locates all the power plants, zoom in on the power plants in the area of interest then locate the transformers follow the power lines.. Where I jump the river the trail ends at the substation at lake powell I extended the trail over the river to show the source. Power lines = distribution lines not the small stuff found running around town. |
