2025 Silver Onion April 12-13, TBD AM
What to Expect
Difficulty: Moderate
Bike: ATB, or MTB, or gravel bike with 42mm Tires or wider. TUBELESS
Breakdown: About a 2 hour drive from Sierra Vista. Planning to park along the paved road going up to Massai Point. This is a very easy route and could easily be accomplished in 1 day as a gravel ride. Splitting it into two allows for plenty of time to enjoy the landscape. several hikes exist throughout the range as well as the Tavern and Lodge in Portal where we will likely spend the afternoon before returning to the campground. The second day leads you back over the mountain saddle via an alternate road. A gravel bike would be perfect for this route. The short mileage also makes it possible to bring any desired off road bike. You can really get away with packing light on this route.
2025 Carr Peak August 10-11, 4 PM
What to Expect
Difficulty: Moderate
Bike: ATB, or MTB with 1.9" Tires or wider. TUBELESS
Breakdown: Put it simply, it's going to be hot this time of the year. This is a short, close-to-home overnighter towards the end of the Summer season. Carr is no joke as far as climbs go with a loaded down bike. It has it's rough patches about halfway up, but the views more than make up for it. Luckily, with this being a short route, you can pack light. In fact, there will be a bonus sunset hike for those who still need more of a challenge. This hike involves watching the sunset up at Carr Peak before returning back down to camp. Due to the terrain, grade, and length of the descent back down, we recommend a mountain bike with excellent brakes and reliable tires. If you plan on coming along for the hike, please be prepared with proper hiking shoes, and headlamps. We also welcome anyone who simply wants to drive up and join us for a fun night under the full moon lit sky. See you there!

We are striving for everyone to have a good time. Especially for people new to bikepacking. If you lack camping experience, we advise trying it at home first. Set up your tent, test your cooking set up, make sure your sleeping pad holds air, and make sure that sleeping bag keeps you warm. Finally, take the time to load up your bike, ride it, and get a good shake down ride. Get all the issues solved before you go out on your adventure. Being prepared helps everyone make it to camp in time to enjoy it. Please keep in mind that this is a SELF SUPPORTED event open to the general public.
