[net.bicycle] Winter Biking/Hiking in Arizona?

barrys@hercules.UUCP (Barry Steel) (11/09/85)

Since we have two weeks off at Christmas this year, my wife and I thought it
would be a good time to dry out down south for the holidays.  Does anyone
have any suggestions for cycling (loaded touring, say a 400 mile loop) OR
backpacking where we could mostly avoid the snow (and rain)?  We have enjoyed
the desert in Utah (in Spring) and thought maybe if we went far enough
south...

Can anyone tell me what the day length will be then?

BTW, we would be interested in avoiding people as much as possible, and my
wife is a cactophile so we should be fairly easy to entertain.

Thanks,
