Man, did we have a great time! A 10 day bike trip around the Gila Wilderness. We started outside of Mimbres, NM and headed North. Our first night we camped in Rocky Canyon, we only went six miles that first day, but it was a steep, rocky six miles. Plus, this was our first big adventure since leaving Florida (Sea Level) and our elevations for this trip were between something like 5000 ft and 9500 feet. We then camped at Black Canyon where we met Kevin, Adrian, and Steve who were riding the Continental Divide trail. We then headed up to Dry Diamond Creek - which happened to not be dry this year and then up to Beaverhead workstation. We then headed west, a 31 mile day to Snow Lake and then down to Willow Creek. We then went to two of our favorite little towns Mogollon and Glennwood. Then hit the Highway back to Silver City. It was an amazing trip, highly recommended, just make sure the water sources are available, we hit it on a wet year and I guess Beaverhead used to be a year round water source, but now it's shutting down for the winter. We hit it 2 days before it closed for the season. We will post some pics from this loop soon.
