Trail Information
At the crossroads of Pima and Dynamite roads you will find cars and trucks with bike racks parked off in the dirt. This is the starting point for over 100 miles of singletrack. Out in extreme North Scottsdale in the middle of some of the most beautiful Sonoran desert you can find, is singletrack for all experience levels. Most of the riding is fast rolling terrain with occasional short steep climbs. You won’t find any gnarly downhills or long climbs in this area.
None of the trails are marked, so you need to keep yourself oriented to find your way back to the car. There are some power lines to use as a reference. These power lines have a jeep road under them. If you ever get lost, look for the power lines and follow the road back to your car.
The way out is mostly uphill and the ride back is always faster. A favorite part is the ride back on the singletrack blasting through the corners and flying over the rollers. The ride back to your should be mostly downhill so you’ll know you are going the right way if you are cruising along in the high teens without much effort.
Find a parking spot and follow the jeep road until you find some singletrack to the left or right and follow those. And be sure to take a lot of water.
Caution: Motocross riders love this area. You will see and hear them all over. Keep your eyes and ears open and stay clear of them. They are going much faster, their bike is heavier and you can hear them. And you would lose. So ride defensively and have fun.
