These are the best adventure motorcycle rides in southeast Arizona. I’ve been putting this list together for over 8 years and it includes over 3,000 miles of my favorite paved and non-paved roads. There are currently 26 rides including 15 loops and 11 “XC” or “extra credit” rides. The loop rides begin and end at the Jonquil Motel in Bisbee, AZ and range between 17-300+ miles in length. The XC rides are shorter and more challenging than the regular loop rides.
Warning: Back-road travel can be hazardous. Road conditions can change quickly based on a variety of factors including the weather. Please respect road closures, the environment and the local population. Leave no trace, know your limits and carry plenty of water.
