Biking House Rock Valley has become a multi-year love of mine.  It all started back in 2017 when Darren and I were driving to the North Rim to stay at Big Springs and we eyed the straight arrow path of Buffalo Ranch Road cutting across the high grasslands out to places unknown to us.  It struck us, stayed with us, and became a conversation topic we returned to over and over: what it would be like to ride out there?  It took moving to the Canyon for me to begin really biking there starting in 2020.  When winter set in high up on the rims, I began looking for relatively close desert treks to go ride in: House Rock Valley fit the intent.  Ever since, I spend a good chunk of weekends in the area riding down old doubletrack and across sandy washes enjoying the grasslands, desert scrub, and spectacular scenery along Marble Canyon.
