Tour Itinerary

We’ll meet at the Pima Canyon Trailhead for a quick bike fit and gear check, making sure your dual-suspension bike is dialed before hitting the trail. Your guide will walk you through desert riding techniques—from body positioning to navigating rocky sections—so you roll out with confidence. From there, we drop into South Mountain’s classic intermediate singletrack, where the route blends rolling climbs, rocky features, and sweeping Sonoran Desert views.

As we pedal through the park, the trail opens up to wide desert vistas, cactus-lined corridors, and classic Phoenix terrain. We’ll pause at scenic viewpoints to catch our breath, snap photos, and share local insights on the landscape, ecology, and trail system. Your guide selects the best loops for the day, creating a ride that feels engaging and uniquely yours. We finish with a smooth return to the trailhead, leaving you with dust on your tires and a boost in confidence.
