Rock Art!

DF Connection

Riding on obscure Tuscon trails, we ran across amazing art that was created out of rocks carefully arranged in the sand to form very cool figures. A huge rabbit, a heart, a wolf howling in a moonlight, a horse, a hummingbird .... we also ran across the original artist, Karen Garno, who was busy working on her latest masterpiece. Listen in on this podcast as Gravel Girl interviews Karen. What inspires Karen to create her amazing art, how does she find all the rocks, and how did she get started. Creating this art is both an artistic and physical endeavor for this 78 year old.

The art is located in the Voyager trail network. You can find this awesome trail network by heading to the entrance of the Voyager RV Park . You'll find a gate right across from the entrance with plenty of room to park. There are 16 works of art as we publish this podcast, along with over 30 miles of trails for you to ride. We will be publishing a route call Rock Art, so check back on the Dirty Freehub site to find it. But the trails are well marked so don't be afraid to head out to the area without a route loaded.

Dirty Freehub is a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling route guides. Our mission is to connect gravel cyclists to where they ride through stories about culture, history, people, places, and lands with the hope that they will become involved as advocates, volunteers, or donors with organizations that protect and preserve recreation spaces.
