Road cycling
This is a really great non-motorized trail that goes all around the River Mountains. Horseback riding is allowed in some sections and hikers and runners can cluster in parts of it, but it is mostly used by cyclists, as it is truly a pleasure to ride, which doesn't mean it isn't also quite challenging, and the heat must be taken into account during certain times of the year!
