Thanks for the advice ‘abegold’ and your vote of confidence for my pick of the Gooseberry trail – I’ll definitely be doing that one for sure. I dismissed Sedona, but that looks cool too – is there one trail there that’s a real standout in your opinion? Oh man, decisions, decisions… I wish I had more time in the area.

Yep, I had looked into joining one of those tours a while back, but unfortunately operators like Western Spirit all had set schedules that didn’t coincide with the time I’m there – a real bummer, as I’d rather ride with others, but I like to get off the beaten track too, so I’m also happy to explore on my own a bit.

I assume then that the East Rim/AZ Trail you’re referring to is the same as the following page/description yeah?

I found this map too:

Is it just a ride in and ride out deal BTW? I get the impression that this one rates a little better than Rainbow Rim for a few riders = more decisions!

Anyway, thanks again for the suggestions ‘abegold’ – much appreciated.
