Fagan Bike-Hike via AZ83 -- This is a very pleasant, thoroughly rewarding, and occasionally challenging bike-hike through mesquite/oak & grassland habitats (with mariposa lily blooms in springtime), and the views from ridgelines and peaks in this area are stellar. Initially, mtn-bike recommended, it roughly parallels The Lakes road from AZ83, skirting two rough sections of the doubletrack with adjacent singletrack segments, eventually merging with the SW-bound Arizona Trail for a long stretch. It then branches W-bound following a hilly path that offers several trailside options for caching a mtn-bike (e.g., Lat: 31 deg 54.22 min, Lon: -110 deg 41.71 min). Continuing on foot leads hikers to a forked junction (Lat: 31 deg 54.07 min, Lon: -110 deg 42.51 min) with two distinct route choices: Peak 5102 (nearer) or Mt. Fagan (farther). The Mt. Fagan route traverses a contour around the S flank of Peak 5102, then ascends steadily on any variety of wildlife paths to a major ridgeline that leads to the summit of Mt. Fagan (6189' elev). This route is not for the faint of heart as it will give you a solid workout, and there are several technical pitches and storm-groomed slopes that require your full attention. This bike-hike is wholly within AZ State Lands and the Coronado NF and is subject to those agencies' regulations. |
