In the quiet northeast corner of Arizona, nestled in the heartland of the Navajo Nation lies a beautiful rise of mountains called the Lukachukai range. Buffalo Pass sits atop this range at 8,400’. On the east starting in the Red Valley you will have a very gentle rise heading to the bluffs of Lukachukai East. Other than a couple of 10% switch turns, this side of the hill is a pleasant ride up two thousand feet over approximately seven miles.
Average grade is 5.2% (5.8% climb only). 43% of the climb is at 5-10% and 12% is at 10-15%. 12% of the climb is at or above 10%. The steepest quarter-mile is 13.2%.
