Prescott Trail 305

Along the trail


This is nice all singletrack trail located in Prescott. It’s non-technical, except for some tight switchbacks and steep climbs. If you want to get out of the heat and into the pines, this trail’s for you. But … make sure you bring your lungs (and your legs), you’ll be doing a ton of climbing. The trail is well-marked and GPS coordinates shouldn’t be required. I didn’t have to use it once—and I usually get lost quite easily

The Los Burros Trail #631 (northern loop)

Near the start of the shortcut trail

This is an awesome trail in the cool White Mountains near Show Low and Pinetop. It has tons of singletrack winding through dense stands of pine trees and shouldn’t be missed. At roughly 8000 feet in elevation and long climbs, it can get your heart pounding, but it isn’t too technical and the ripping fast downhills make the climbs worth it.

New Camera-GoPro Hero Wide

I just purchased the GoPro Helmet Hero Wide camera from GoPro and thought I'd test it out with some friends on the Chutes this weekend. We headed out at 6 am to beat the heat. Here's the first video. Here's a few first impressions:

- Very lightweight, but noticeable on the helmet
- We rode into the sun and the video is a litte dark
- Tightening the mounts difficult and they tended to slip
- Great wide angle shots
- Image stability outstanding

More later when I've had a chance to do a little more testing.

Kentucky Camp Trail

The "Hotel" at Kentucky Camp


This is one of the best mountain bike trails in southern Arizona. It’s got something for everyone, except those who crave extremely technical rides. The trail winds its way through grassy fields, mountain foothills and high-desert flora. Not only is it beautiful and fun, you can take a trip back in time to the late 1800s! You get to visit Kentucky Camp and ride along a portion of the famous Arizona Trail. At only an hour and a half from Tucson, it’s a trail that shouldn’t be missed! The last mile of the trail can be accessed by car and it's a great spot for the younger children to learn to mountain bike

The Upper Boulders

The Upper Boulders is another spur trail off the Chutes which ties into the Boulders trail. Like the Boulders, the Upper Boulders has lots of … well, boulders. It’s a short, but technically challenging trial.

I ride this trail starting from the Chutes and link up with the Boulders trail about ¼ the way through.

Brown Canyon Trail

The Trough. A great place for a rest and the start of the downhill singletrack!


This is another great trail located about an hour and a half southeast of Tucson near Sierra Vista. Although short, it starts with a heart-pounding climb up a Jeep road and ends with a super fun, long down hill section on single track. As a bonus, you can also opt to visit the historical Brown Canyon Ranch. And beautiful scenery to boot. All-in-all a great ride!
