Arizona Trails
Apache Junction, AZ
Miles and miles of trails all within easy driving distance. Many trails are in the historic Superstition Mountains where you can still hope to find the lost gold mine. Winter riding temperatures average around 70 degrees. 
There are also many miles of riding across the valley in the desert. When I brought a horse out here for the first time I soon discovered the riding is tough enough that if you ride every day you can wear out a horse. I also learned you need to replace shoes every six weeks if you ride with the group I ride with.
