Think of the Wild West and it probably conjures up images of cowboys, towering red rocks and saguaro cacti under azure skies. Prepare to feast your eyes on all of these things and so much more on the Beyond Biking Arizona trail between Phoenix and Flagstaff.
TRAIL DETAILS
TRAIL PART 1:
McDowell Sonoran Desert (3 days)
Our journey begins in the Sonoran Desert and the surrounding McDowell Mountains, an extraordinarily beautiful and rugged landscape with some of the best mountain biking trails in the south-west. The Sonoran has more plant and animal biodiversity than any other desert in the world, while the steep mountain walls of McDowell prove a riding backdrop so majestic it looks like a painting.
TRAIL PART 2:
Black Canyon Trail (2 days)
Further along into Central Arizona, you will marvel at the endless stretches of cross country riding at the award-winning Black Canyon trail. As well as breathtaking mesas, you will ride along gorgeous bench-cut single tracks and above the deep canyons of the Agua Fria River – just like something out of an old Western.
TRAIL PART 3:
Sedona’s Red Rock Country (2 days)
Your ride ends at the Sedona National Park, a geological wonderland full of rock formations and ponderosa pine forests.
The Beyond Biking Arizona tour is a mountain biking experience like no other. Arizona not only offers one the finest stretches of smooth, rolling single track anywhere in the world, but its low altitudes and short climbs make it perfect for early season riding. Sleep in a guest ranch, meet real-life cowboys and talk a ride on the wild side – escape to sunny Arizona in winter.
