- **Event Name**: Owls Head Gravel Ride
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: We'll meet at San Lucas Community Park. There are restrooms at the park.
Can be ridden with a Gravel Bike or a Mountain Bike. Distance for this ride is 34 miles.
The dirt roads have some sand (not deep) and some washboard, but not anything really rough. Longest paved section of road is about 5 miles. Owl Head Rd (dirt) passes right by the Owl Head Buttes and offers great views of saguaro cactus and the open desert. 
This will be a social ride, 8 - 10 pace taking breaks to re-group or to have a snack. 
There are no stores along the route, so you need to bring at least 2liters or more of water and enough food to fuel you for the 34 mile distance. Make sure your bike is in good working condition for the ride.

This route does not go on Carpenter Ranch Rd. We will start and end on the CAP Trail.

Route info: 
Miles 1 to 4.5 / Canal Riding / Gravel Road
Follow the canal on the east side using the dirt access road.
Miles 4.5 to 6 / Hard-packed and Fast / Gravel Road
Here we found hard-packed, fast riding. The mountains to the east (slightly south) are the Silver Bells. For more information on the area, check out the Silver Bell route.
Miles 6.5 to 9.5 / Amongst the Cactus / Gravel Road
At mile 7.1, take a quick right onto Missile Base Road [paved]. Directly in front of you is one of the last remaining Titan II missile bunkers from the Cold War era.
At mile 8.5 make a left onto Cattle Tank road [gravel]. The scenic desert beauty continues.
Miles 9.5 to 14.5 / Small Rollers / Paved Road
At mile 10.2, connect with the paved portion of Cattle Tank road. The next 5 miles are a series of small paved rollers with a slight upward trend. To the northwest is Picacho Peak.
Miles 14.5 to 18 / OHV Trail / Dirt Trail

This next section is just a blast! Zipping around cactus all the while looking at Owl Head Buttes to the west. The trail / road is just wide enough for a car and, for the most part hard-packed. As you near the end of the segment, there is a gate to pass through.
Miles 18 to 25 / Owl Head Road/ Gravel Road
The next miles are scenic and fast. It is pure Sonoran desert; there is little evidence of the homesites nearby except the occasional dirt driveway. You are drawn in close to the buttes, and then they gradually slip away as you pedal along a straight rolling dirt road. Just before mile 26, the texture changes. The road is tinted white, with some embedded rock, and it meanders up a hill and then down through a wash.
