Description: In the mornings, I went for a bike ride up Highway 89A towards Flagstaff. If you are on the road by 6:30 A.M. there is very little traffic. The dessert air is very cool and you will catch the sun rising over the canyons. You will also see some great sights including a really cool bridge across a large ravine and a flowing stream next to the highway. You can either ride on the shoulder of the highway or on the trails by the stream. I tried both and preferred the road. Be careful though because this is a highway and the cars are moving really fast. It is mostly uphill heading toward Flagstaff, so it can get a little tiring (hence the need for cool mountain air in the morning). But the ride back is very exhilarating and fast!!
