Description: Great trail, once you get there. I bit of just a bit too much for my self . 25 miles to be exact. It's a network of trails to get there but once you do the actual Shultz trail is about 6-8 miles of smooth downhill, with great views of the mountains.

Schultz is just the start of the riding here, a trail most will climb to get the many trails higher on the mountain. Cool and shady, a rare treat in this state. Watch out for motorcycles.

A Flagstaff staple. So fast and fun. Can be ridden up but be aware on busy days. Had a blast!

4 miles up, 4 down, a very rideable climb to the top of Shultz Creek, reverse it and it's a sweet trip down. It is part of a system where you can ride around Mt. Eldon for a big loop, BUT part of Little Eldon Trail is closed due to a recent fire.
Similar Trail: Campbell Mesa has some flat flowing singletrack.

Sweet flowing singletrack along Schultz Creek. A good way to climb up, but a great way to fly back down to the trailhead with a few play features if you're in the mood.

The trails of and around shultz creek are beautiful, extensive, and challenging. I learned how to ride single track here.

Probably the best singletrack in AZ. Everything in the Mt. Elden network is awesome. This site ranks a couple of the rides in the lower deserts higher but I would STRONGLY dissagree. The best trails in AZ are in northern AZ, don't let anyone tell you anything different. Flagstaff rules, I have ridden all over AZ, CO & UT, this place is second to none, just try not to spread the word too much... ; )
Similar Trail: Anything in the Mt. Elden network(Little Bear, Brookbank, Sunset, Oldham, Wasabi, Pickle, Private)

Best overall trail in AZ!! Great trail, Great weather. Steady uphill climb and once at the top options are plenty. Can join up with the brookbank trails (through the hobbit forest), Eldon trail for a difficult climb but awesome views, or to dry lakes to pedal around. Downhill has to be back on Schultz pass, hold on and enjoy the ride. When you are done, you will want to do it again.

I started at the lower trailhead before the dirt road and road up to the upper trailhead and back. This was a mother of a climb, but worth it becasue it was all fast flowy downhill on the way back. The forest around Flagstaff is beautiful and peaceful, and the trails are wicked fast. This is a great trail and I wish I'd had more time to try the other trails that branch off from the upper trailhead.
Similar Trail: Reminds me a lot of the Front Range trails around Evergreen, CO.

I used to ride this in college. This is one of the best downhill trails I have ridden in AZ. If you have the urge, head up the fire road instead to the towers on Mt Elden (7miles up). Grab the sunrise trail and it is something like 14 miles of almost all singletrack downhill. Best trail I have ridden.

This tail was the best trail ive ever been on, although thats coming from a kid who just got into biking. Anyway, it has some really hard parts, but most of it isnt too bad
