I'm originally from Ohio and moved to Arizona in 2004. I really became interested in mountain biking and hiking after the move. I do most my hiking with a meetup.com group call AHOTE. We are an advanced group of hikers that always seems to get "off trail".

The best part of Arizona is the diversity of terrain. 2 hours in any direction from Phoenix can take you into snow, desert or deep canyons. It’s the ultimate playground for outdoor enthusiast.
