The Starr Pass trail network in Tucson is a favorite of ours because the trails are accessible from a few different places, the network spreads out nicely and the trails are more advanced overall. I love the rocky features...
Sweetwater Preserve Ride

Sweetwater Preserve is a great mountain bike option if you’re up for a couple hours of trail riding. There isn’t a lot out there, but if you get creative you can put connect all the trails and get a...
Ridgeline Lollipop Ride

St. George Mountain Biking

We left Nevada and found our next 2 week spot by St. George, Utah. I think the last time I rode the Santa Clara River Reserve Trails in St. George may have been 2008. We rode different trails this...
