~700-mi OHV loop between Kingman and Yuma. First known MTB completion solo in February 2021 after a 120-mi reconnaissance. Minus the southern Hualapai Mountains ~40 mi between Yucca and Wikieup; did the alternate, wildfire prevented me from returning to ride it.
Less effort than AZT by a good margin. Rideable all winter, Hualapais are condition dependent. 3-inch tires recommended for sand washes on the west side. Resupplies are about perfect. Averaging 50 mi per day I had max two nights in between resupplies. One 90-mi stretch between Salome and Dateland, but it rides fast. Note Yucca AZ has no regular food source. Backcountry water just in two spots on the east side if you do not count the CO River, otherwise all store bought. Sharing with ATVers was a nonissue; a pleasant group.
It is a fantastic route devised with the help of lots of local knowledge; it skirts some incredible Wilderness, and road surfaces are generally MTB friendly. No singletrack. A desert lover dream nonetheless.
