An hour and a half south of Prescott and about 3,500 feet lower lies a spectacular 80 mile out-and-back training course. Great road. Almost no vehicles. Amazing, mesmerizing desert beauty.
I did 58 miles. It was hot (100F+). Absolutely deserted. Not a soul. Almost windless. Brilliant, pillow clouds. Saguaros. Ocotillo. Cattle roaming. Vultures soaring above. Critters scittering across the burning road. Immensely silent.

Dan, how wonderful the pictures are. And just as I clicked onto your blog, Anna called to talk about our visit. I will be in Yellowstone before Prescott. Family tremor prevents any good photos by me, but I can cadge some from my sister during the YNP phase of my trip. I am looking forward to seeing you.
