Riding EPIC Arizona singletrack out of Utah (Warner Valley dirt biking)

Wedged on the border of Utah and Arizona is a magnificent singletrack dirt bike loop. We stage in Utah, and most of the ride is in Arizona. We followed this loop up by journeying Northeast to the far edge of the Warner Valley for some additional red rock singletrack. Many who do a similar loop to us go the opposite direction in order to go down a couple spots that are a challenge to go up. My dad and I go the more difficult way because we never thought to go the other way around, so that's just how things are done now. However, the riding is fairly tame in terms of technicality. Anyone with a buddy and a sense of riding can make it through. This is our second year completing this loop. It has a mix of many different types of riding, from flowy to rocky to steep mesa climbs and drops. We also rode on what felt like the full spectrum of the soil rainbow. None of the trails are marked or have names that I am aware of.

This is so cool on so many levels. You go on great rides, create great videos and share them with us, and (best of all) you will have these life long memories of riding with your Dad. My daughter and I still ride together - I'm 67 and she is 35 - and we still have so much fun each time we go. Thanks so much for posting!

Thank you! Sometimes I ride with another dad-daughter pair. He' 68 and she's 36.

Looks like a great area to ride!

[@nvmtbkr]

You and your dad kick ass! Great ride and video!

[@peteregger7928]

Great riding video! That trail looked like big fun! No dust!

[@Clewis333]

You should do a video about your navigation. That's the hardest part to learn once you can ride a bike 🤘

[@wakewaveandsand5789]

Nice video and nice riding. It looks like you guys are having a ton of fun out there. I hope your Dad's back heals up. I have similar problems and it's not fun. Keep up the good work. 😁

I really enjoy these vids - great riding and editing! The Mrs. and I need to get over there and explore on moto's

You can become a part time tour guide, because you have a nice personality

Where is that cross over section? I rode there a bunch last spring but never rode across that.

[@DirtZen]

What a spectacular place to ride. I was there a few years ago and dream of it often to this day. Some of the best riding around. It goes on forever! It's so cool that you get to share these experiences with your Pops! What device do you use for communications?

Sena SMH10s

Hi. Nice video , I have question how you record intercom between us ?

[@misstrails]

Thanks, you can checkout my video on my recording setup to see an explaination on how this works.

What time of year was this? If it's recent I might be very envious. I feel for your Dad. As fellow geezer, I can relate to the aches and pains of being a middle aged rider. I hope his back settles down so he can ride!

[@misstrails]

He appreciates the empathy. This ride was less than 2 weeks ago

[@jayinla228]

Nice! Which camera and setting is this?

[@misstrails]

Thanks! Go checkout my video on video and audio recording setup for all the specs
