Ramsey Canyon

This is one of my favorite rides in the Sierra Vista area so far. It is about a 30 mile round trip from my house to the end of the road in Ramsey Canyon. I have seen a variety of animals while riding up the canyon, all before I got my new camera. I think they are camera shy.
It is a very beautiful ride up the canyon. It is really nice to have places like this close by to ride to instead of cactus and sagebrush dominated landscapes.


This is close to the top when the trees are really getting nice. This is usually the area I start seeing more wildlife.


This is the top of the climb just as you come off from the final slope. The turn around tree is just ahead.

This is the turn around tree at the top of Ramsey Canyon. The tree is in the middle of the road at the end of the canyon. It is a good place to stop and switch the position of your water bottles. It is all down hill from here. I have hit speeds of 38+ mph going back down. There is a great view of Sierra Vista on the way back down. I will have to stop and get some pictures on my next ride.
