Best gravel riding in Arizona in winter

[litcrazy]

I’m back for more travel advise. Our son is coming home for his winter vacation, so we’ll save Granada for another year. Having looked into it, it’s high on our dream list.

We’re now planning a 4-5 trip to Arizona right after new year’s. We love Sedona’s mountain biking, but my wife prefers gravel so I want to find a place with good gravel.

Is there good January gravel riding near Sedona or does it get too high and this snowy on the gravel routes?

Should we just plan on Tuscan and/or Patagonia for winter gravel? I’ve heard good things….

Somewhere I’m missing?

I’d love to hear from the Arizona folk
