Located within the larger Usery Mountain Regional Park, the Moon Rock loop is a fast and smooth trail that adds 1.3 miles to the more famous Blevins Trail. Although the Moon Rock loop is not known as well, it is still a classic in the Usery area, featuring pavement-smooth doubletrack and flowy turns to make riders of all skill levels smile. The best feature about Moon Rock loop is that the trail is mostly turned downhill, allowing riders to go as fast as they can pedal without burning out. The trail is a doubletrack, meaning it is wide enough for mountain bikers and small groups of hikers, so be careful and watch out for others coming either direction in the loop.

Because Moon Rock loop is part of the larger system in the Usery Mountain Regional Park, there is no direct access to the trail. Instead, there is 1 parking area and 2 ride-in entrances (all are located on the map below).

From the parking area, follow the Blevin's trail on the right for about a 1/2 mile to the Moon Rock loop sign that will be on the right. Riders and hikers can also stay on Blevin's trail for another 1/2 mile and ride the Moon Loop clock-wise. To get back to the parking area for both paths, just turn left at the sign that marks the connection to Blevin's and ride the 1 mile back.

From ride-in entrance #2 on the map below, turn left onto the Levee trail and ride until the intersection with the Moon Rock loop. Riders can either turn left onto the loop or turn right, turn left onto the Blevin's trail, then turn right again at the other Moon Rock loop entrance. Both ride-in entrances have a kiosk for a self-pay $2 entry.

The Moon Rock Loop does not feature any particular viewing areas, but allows riders and hikers to experience the desert at it's best, with plenty of the southwest plant and animal life among the thrilling twists and turns of smooth arizona dirt.
