Well, I'd like to knock off a few of the southern sections this fall.
Sounds like the recent rains may have taken out some of the trail near
Montezuma Pass (if I read between the lines of the newscast correctly!)
I've already done a couple of sections closer to Tucson (Reddington
Pass, Oracle Ridge & Oracle State Park, and part of the section from
Hwy. 77 towards Freeman road) as day rides.

I'd like to park in Patagonia, ride the dirt roads to Canelo Pass, then
take the trail back into Patagonia. I'll take my time, and do it on the
singlespeed as an overnighter.

You bet!

Here's a short write-up of a overnighter a friend and I did in that
area last spring.

Last fall in the Chiricahuas:

Not exactly ultralight, but bikepacking, nonetheless!
