Friends of Coconino County Parks is offering a Mountain Bike Ride Saturday, November 20. It will go from the Navajo Ramada at Fort Tuthill County Park out to Rogers Lake – the County’s newest “park”! (Coconino County Parks and Recreation purchased Rogers Lake on Monday using monies from the Coconino Parks and Open Space Program and “Growing Smarter” land conservation funds.)
This is an intermediate-level ride, totaling about 15 miles round trip along non-technical Forest Service roads, with an elevation gain/loss of ~750 feet. At the Lake, we'll revisit the acquisition efforts by the County and discuss a future Friends of Coconino County Parks project – a multi-use trail from Fort Tuthill to Rogers Lake. We'll return to Fort Tuthill via a similar route. Fort Tuthill is located at Exit 337 and I-17, just across Highway 89A.
All riders must bring and wear a helmet and have a mountain bike in good repair. It is also suggested that you bring water, a snack, and a spare tire tube (or two).
To participate, simply show up. For more information or to become involved in the Friends, please visit www.friendsofcocoparks.org or email
