Pistol Hill (Colossal Cave) Trail

Nice singletrack!

This is a great ride in southeast Tucson (Vail) that shouldn’t be missed. It’s 100% singletrack that’s mostly easy with a few technical spots and a big climb at the end. I’ve been mountain biking in Tucson for almost seven years and I can’t believe I waited this long to ride this trail! It’s definitely going to be one of my regular rides.

The Bunny Loop Trail, Fantasy Island

The Trailhead off Valencia


This is beginner’s trail located within Fantasy Island in southeast Tucson. It’s flat and there’s no technical challenges (only dodging the cacti), so it’s a great place to learn how to mountain bike, though some kids and adults new to the sport may be intimidated by the narrowness of the trail.

Rail-X -- Beginner's and Kid's Trail

Cruising along Rail-X

This is a great trail for beginners and kids. It follows a two-track road through some fairly flat desert just north of Tucson in Catalina. It’s wide enough for kids not to be too nervous about crashing into a cacti and offers enough sand, small rocks and whoop-dee-doos to let them hone their skills before trying out singletrack. All-in-all, a super trail to help the young ones start mountain biking!

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.
