ENJOY ARIZONAS VAST NETWORK OF TRAILS!!
When we started Cactus Adventures there was no question in our minds where we would construct our guiding/rental location. We are located at the base of beautiful South Mountain Preserve with over 15,000 acres of preserved desert. All around Phoenix less than 4 hours in any direction, lies THE BEST mountain biking in the world!! Below is a list of some of our FAVORITE areas:

SOUTH MOUNTAIN (link)
The trails on South Mountain are some of the best in the world for mountain biking, hiking and road biking with trails/paths/roads for every genre of biking. If you like road riding plan your trip around Silent Sunday which hapens once a month (where no cars are allowed to drive the summit road). This is an awesome ride if you are looking for a leg burning road ride. You can climb the backside of South Mountain and then come ripping down! Any day of the week is good for a cross country or all-mountain ride up south's Mormon/National loops. If you like Downhill Mountain biking then hook up with the Short Bus on Sunday morning for as many shuttle runs as your body can stand!!

MCDOWELL MOUNTAIN PARK (link)
More acreage than South Mountain but farther out of town, McDowell Mountain Park has something for everybody. The hiking trails are scenic and give you that "remote" feeling and the biking trails are classid desert singletrack. Back in the 90's the infamous Cactus Cup took place at McDowell Mountain Park. This lead way to the Competition loops being created. The Comp loops are mountain bike only trails that range in difficulty level. They are short-er loops that enable you to do fairly quick laps and meet back up in the parking lot. No matter what skill level your family or group has you will find something in the McDowell Park that is perfect for you.

SUNRISE PARK RESORT (link)
Arizona's ONLY lift assisted mountain biking located in the beautiful White Mountains. We have been able to ride mountain bikes on this awesome ski resort for almost 10 years now. Trails for everybody but definatley geared towards Downhill mountain biking, Sunrise is the perfect spot to hone your skills and beat the heat of Phoenix. In the Summer months it is generally 30-50 degrees cooler in the White Mountains than in Phoenix. Stay at the Sunrise Lodge or camp at one of the many campgrounds or lakes. Great fishing awaits as well as world class mountain bike riding. Come join us for the Sunrise Cup Mountain Bike race and test your skills against the locals! Cactus Bike supplys Haro Extreme X7 and Giant Reign X freeride bikes that are perfect for Sunrise's challenging and technical terrain.
