Bucolic White Mountains AZ CCW Loop Route from high desert of historic Holbrook, AZ to forests of the Mogollon Rim to tundra of the White Mountains from 5100 to 9400 ft. 251mi/407km~9500 ft climbing (85% RWGPS).

This loop route starts and ends in the Painted Desert at historic Holbrook, AZ, approx. 5200 ft. The CounterClockWise (CCW) route goes southwest thru Heber into the pine forest of the Mogollon Rim then loops east thru Show Low then south up into the White Mountains to top out at 9407 feet near Big Lake and the Mt. Baldy Wilderness Area before the descent north back thru Eagar/Springerville, Lyman Lake and St. John’s. Riders will be rewarded with a variety of open and forested terrain and spectacular views along the White Mountains Scenic Road. Elevation varies between 5100-9407 feet with total climbing about 9000 ft. July-August is N. AZ monsoon season, which also produces abundant wildflowers along the route, especially in the high country sections.
