Your destination on Humboldt Mountain

This route will explore numerous nice cycling areas in the far North Phoenix valley. The highlight will be the tough climb of Humboldt Mountain to the microwave tower sitting atop it. There are a few miles of hardpacked forest roads to get there, but the climb itself is newly paved. It's a tough climb, but the views are worth the effort getting there! Make sure you have good brakes. You will need them on the steep descent. Also, bring your camera. You will snap some photos!
