Mountain Biking Arizona Trail - Three Bridges to Lakes
#106 of 417 mountain bike trails in Arizona
This is a great section of the AZT for the XC types. Fast and flowy the whole way. Trail is well engineered so the hills stay between 6-8%. Good trail for beginner/intermediate riders looking for a little adventure.

Starting from the Three Bridges TH go south for 13 miles to the Lakes TH and turn around. Well marked. You can't get lost.
Parked at the intersection of E. Sahuarita Rd and Route 83 and headed north. Rode about 10 out and 10 back for a great ride, about 1,000 feet of elevation gain, your riding downhill for the most part going north. The trail is not very technically challenging but the length makes up for it. I would like to explore more of this section of the AZ trail. It seems a lot more suited to bikes than other sections I have ridden.

| ThankReally fun section of the AZT. Fast and flowy ST the whole way. Would be a good place for newer riders.
