Mountain Bike

This trail is very rocky. Bring plenty of water because there is no shaded areas and it gets hot in Arizona. Overall a fun trail. I used a hard tail with a head shock but took it easy as to not blow out a tire or shock. A full suspension bike is recommended. Courtesy of Singletracks.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
