Hey Gang,
Looking for suggestions for an early (February/March) spring 3-5 day bikepacking trip in the southwest or maybe farther west? Something around 250-400 miles depending on terrain with resupply routes on the way. Thought about the Stagecoach 400 route or Utah Cliff route, but I think the cliff route would be snowed in.  
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks,
Woody

Arizona?
AZT, BCT, some interesting loops can be made up from directly out of Phoenix if that's where you fly into.

Gila River Ramble is what I'd recommend.  Lots of good options to loop it.  If the core ~100 mile isn't enough, take the AZT back towards Oracle, too.

I've been considering the Gila River Ramble for early spring this year as well. I'll be flying into Phoenix, so would need to shuttle or ride out. Any good options?
