Customer Review: Mountain Biking in Arizona
This book is for much more technical areas for mountain biking than we wanted. We wanted gentle trails instead of hard-core trails which is what this book entails.
Customer Review: One of the best for AZ mtb trails
Great book. Used it when I moved back to AZ to start exploring new stuff. It is a bit dated, but all guidebooks are to some degree. If you expect a guide book to walk you through every foot of trail and spoonfeed you what pretty trees to look at along the way you might as well spend your time surfing the internet for nice pictures of trails. What fun is exploring if it’s all in the book?
I used this book as all guidebooks should be used…to get you to the best trailhead and save you from wasting valuable exploration time. To that end, it is a great resource and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to experience AZ mountain biking.
