Bike the Cowboy Trails Near Red Rocks Canyon

06/01/16

There are great trails on both sides of highway 160. Stop in the bike shop in Blue Diamond for beta or pick up a patch kit. They also rent bikes for those visiting. Free compressed air at the gas station there in Blue Diamond. Desert riding means keeping some sort of stop leak solution in your tires. WATER!!! Bring more than you think you'll need. Wild Burros and horses roam free here along with the occasional rattle snake.

Paddle The Cheoah River

05/23/16

This is not a beginners run despite being mostly class 3+. The continuous nature of the rapids and growth of sycamore tree saplings in the river bed make this a fun run for experienced class IV paddlers. For non paddlers there are outfitters offering rafting trips down this section. The Dam visible at the end of the run is the one used in the last version of "The Fugitive" It is a scheduled release so check to make sure it's running before going.
