The Gold to Grand Loop, from veteran route creator and Bikepacking Roots Regional Steward, Forrest Radarian, takes riders on a desert trip through Gold Butte and Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monuments along the Nevada/Arizona border. The route travels across the vast arid basins of the Mojave Desert in addition to tracing and climbing over the pinyon-studded Virgin Mountains.
