Best Mountain-Bike Route For Greenhorns
Saguaro National Park East
STAFF PICK: Yes, there's a nominal fee to enter the park,
but if you want a short, lovely ride not far from the center of
town, you can't beat The Cactus Forest Mountain Bike Trail at
Saguaro National Park East. This soft, dusty route, about
two and a half miles each way, winds through some of the most
beautiful scenery around these parts. There are a few switchbacks
and a hairpin turn or two, but basically this is a gentle, banked
stretch of single-track that could turn anyone into a fan of the
sport. The route winds between a variety of desert plants and
constantly reveals new vistas; it's so perfect it seems planned,
like a Disney-view of the desert. Try it at sunset.
