The 50 Year Trail in Tucson is a nice piece of singletrack along the western slope of the Catalina Mountains. Supposedly it got its name from the 50 year lease the county has with the state Land Department. Currently...
Starr Pass Trails
When we are in Tucson, this mountain bike trail network is our favorite go to because it is close in, has remarkable views, and so many interesting and fun trail features. This is a great place to put together...
Sun & Saguaros Ride

Show Low Secret Trails
The informal trail system in Show Low, Arizona is called Buena Vista Secret Trails but it’s no secret. I think one of the loops is official but the rest seem to be the “secret”. There are almost no signs...
