Mountain Biking Arizona

Arizona is a state of stunning and exotic landscapes, of ghost towns, ancient Indian dwellings, wild rivers, vast deserts, and high mountains. "A land full of the unexpected," says Sarah Bennett, veteran mountain biker and author of Mountain Biking Arizona, formerly The Mountain Biker's Guide to Arizona. Primarily a guide of "classic" fat-tire biking trails from the Lower Sonoran Desert to the high alpine environment of the San Francisco Peaks, this book also provides a fascinating view of the natural and human history of this magnificent region. Mountain bikers of all abilities will enjoy the assortment of rides-varying in length end difficulty and appealing to a variety of moods, skills, and fitness levels. Detailed route descriptions, maps, and listings of mountain bike shops in each area will guide you to the best trails around.
