...the fall colors are stunning. Plus, I really enjoy riding on roads where the trees overhang the road from both sides.

...these sweepers headed down a pretty steep grade have been fun, but if you look closely, there is a "Fun Ahead" sign!

As I was saying...it is a lot of fun. But something is different...a look back...

...another look ahead...

We stop here at the "entrance" to Salt River Canyon and I figured out what is different. IT IS HOT.

We have gone done so much in elevation, that the nice comfortable weather we've been riding in for the last 2.5 days is no longer...

40-group%20again.jpg


...it feels like "Arizona" now.

After heading down a bit more, we stop at this scenic overlook.

This is the view of the "river" and the bridge we just crossed getting to this little stop.

59-views.jpg


Kurt was going to take us thru the canyon...but most of us thought it was too warm to enjoy...we wanted to climb back up to higher elevation and cooler temps.

When we decided to head back up...Kurt and I wanted to open it up a bit for a few miles. Here's a little vid of that


and a few pics...

62-fun%20ride.jpg


...there's the bridge that we left a minute or so ago...

...that Mary took as we sprinted back up to the scenic overlook.

After we got back together, we started the ride back up to higher (cooler) elevations.

Thanks for the ride. Wife and I were in Phoenix Az 2010 January-June and 2010 September -February 2011. Some of the best roads and weather. Rode hundreds of miles east west north and south from Phoenix and enjoyed Az as much as any state we’ve traveled. The ride from Scottsdale to Tortilla Flats is fun and scenic. I love the high desert terrain and the sunrise and sunset. :wave4:
