Description: This is an easy network and immpossible to get completely lost. A few of the stretches you can take at high speeds, but the semi-large chunky rocks will slow you down. This is a ride I do in the middle of summer, mid day. It usually isn't too bad, unless it's really humid, which is rare. Even then we rode for over an hour. It's not for the beginners because of some of the climb, and it gets you winded if you're going fast enough.

Overall the trail is pretty basic however great location for a quick ride before/after work for those in the tempe/downtown phoenix area. Great views and trail allows you to be fairly aggressive without worrying about getting into too much trouble.

Fun training ride. For the most part pretty easy, but there are a couple technical areas that make for great practice. Add to this the convenience of being right in the middle of the city and this is a great ride.

This trail is only a 2 minute ride away for me so I love it!! It is one of my favorite "backyard" rides and the scenery is great! You can overlook the zoo and get a great view of the valley from the white pyramid.

This trail is OK for beginners and it's in the middle of town and close to the airport. It is far from a 10 when you consider other trails a short drive away.
