All, A group of 4 of us are hitting these places up in June/July. We have a couple things we want to hit. Hoover Dam and a real life Ghost town. Anyone know of any good ghost towns to hit up with coordinates? Also conditions on how to get there. Two of us have dual sports. 2 of us have upright road bikes. Packed dirt or gravel shouldn't be too big of a deal. Thanks, Nate
How about a indian ghost town? Along the Utah/Colorado border is Hovenweep. Excellent place if any of your group is into black & white photography and off the beaten path. It's easier to get to from the Utah side. From there your near Mounment Valley, four corners and the Colorado San Juan mountains. If you go watch out for loose horses in the roadway in the indian villages.
AZ is pretty hot in the summer, and pretty wet as well in the high country. I would concentrate on Utah and CO. Both have a lot to offer. So does AZ, but the summer is the wrong season to really enjoy it. March, April, May, October and November are great months to visit AZ.
