I use ridewithgps.com for all of my ride planning. And it transfers to my Garmin easily.

Oh, and from there it’s not a long ride and shows only 1,300 or so feet of climb if I recall. Maybe 6 miles or less.

Never been up there. Anyone have any suggestions on trails for a quick day hike or two?

Marshall Gulch is a good one:

Another favorite is drive all the way up to the peak and park in the lot next to the observatory. From there hike due West out to the overlook (about 1.5 miles) where you'll have a great view to the West.

Never mind. Allergies have hit me so hard I’d never be able to breathe well enough to ride it now. No bike for me unless something changes by then.

Randy, Going up in altitude should help with your allergies due to change in ecosystems (I feel for ya)

Fire restrictions are in full effect for the Payson area. We can't even use charcoal. Therefore, I will be unable to bring any bbq. If there is something else you guys would like, let me know.

On another note, I plan on bringing the mountain bike. I hope its not too hot to ride. I start to melt above 90 degrees when riding.

I believe fire restrictions won’t go into effect for Mt Lemmon until May 1st. As long as we have propane stoves, we should be OK. It’s supposed to be In the mid 70’s...
