As of right now, there are no public lands open to riding in AZ except along the western state border along the Colorado river.

All State, BLM and Forest service land is now closed to public access with the exception of Mohave and Yuma counties.

this is not good - I don't even know of any private land within 100 miles of Metro Phx to ride on.

If your in Az - there is just about no trail riding at all.

some good AZ links

Damn that sucks, I havent been able to ride for 6 months and as of the 28th I will be able to......but not now.

 

I guess Its either Rocky Point or the dunes. Anybody been to Rocky Point in Mexico?

roost, when I lived in arizona, we used to go to rocky point, not to ride but to party. That was back in my younger days.

It was a hell of a party, dont really know about the riding though.

If you go have fun.

I was there three weeks ago, there were quads all over the place. Mostly on the streets. There were some sandy areas that every one seemed to be heading to but it didn't look that big. I know that you cant ride on the beach any more, but you can go bar hopping! Just dont ride crazy or the federalies will nab you. It was awsome except for the mosquitos and the stingrays

 

Could you give me directions on how to get to Rocky Point. None of th epeople i have gone with have ever been there. Thanks!

there are several good web sites to give you info on rocky point/peurto penasco.
its about a 4.5 to 5 hour drive from phoenix area. only having been there once you can probably get better info from the web sites than from me. i can tell you that it is quite hot there now (high 90's)and it is not the best time of year to go. remember shrimp are only in season in months that have a "r" in it, so september is when it starts to get better.
definatly worth the trip though!

here's some links:

I don't know how familiar you are with Arizona weather but the Sand dunes right now are really hot. Im talking 107 degree days and 98 degree nights. Its not dune season at this time. most people from Phoenix usually try to head North to flagstaff where its cool.
you should try to head up to the cinders with the guys from this forum. just my 2 cents.

 

roostking- did you make it to mexico?

 

Yea, we did! It was a great time and we are heading back for Labor day. You been lately...
