Butterfly Trail, Mt. Lemmon


Nice wide trail at the start ... don't let it fool you.


This is listed as an “intermediate” mountain biking trail by the Forest Service. Yeah, right. And I look like Jason or Jacob or whoever that guy is from Twilight with my shirt off. The only people who this might be an intermediate trail are professionals or those who eat, drink and sleep mountain biking. Not only is the trail steep, strenuous and has many technical challenges, but a large portion of it is narrow and on the side of the mountain. One small miscalculation can send you for a ride to the ER or worse.

The information from this blog has been moved to the Experience Arizona website at: http://www.experience-az.com/adventures/bike/butterflytrail/butterflytrail.html

The Experience Arizona website has a lot more than the adventures contained in this blog:
- Interactive maps
- Weather
- To Do List
- Updated information
- Information on Arizona wildlife, plantlife and history
- Online magazine
- All for FREE!

Take a look, you'll be glad you did!
