Arizona Trails

Black Canyon Trail, Black Canyon City, Arizona

In 2003, IMBA, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and locals created a plan that should result in more than 60 miles of new singletrack connecting communities and bringing people into the desert.

Cooper Loop, Sierra Vista, Arizona

The Cooper Loop, so named after the late John Cooper, is one of Sierra Vista's best mountain bike rides, especially for those looking for more of a technical challenge than is presented by Brown Canyon.

Kentucky Camp Trail, Patagonia, Arizona

The Kentucky Camp Trail is a 38-mile, figure-eight loop that includes some of the most scenic and fun riding in this part of the world.

National Trail, Phoenix, Arizona

Heaven and hell in a single ride: a long climb followed by a blistering, technical descent on rocky, unforgiving desert singletrack.

Thunderbird Conservation Park, Glendale, Arizona

Located in the middle of town, Thunderbird has a little bit of everything and, most importantly, its trails are composed of sweet Sonoran singletrack. There are not a lot of long wide open "let it fly" type of sections, the trails at T-Bird are better known for being interval central.
