A bright yellow and purple hot air balloon floats above a vast desert landscape dotted with shrubs and mountains in the background. Several other hot air balloons are seen in the distance against a clear blue sky. The scene captures a serene, colorful morning or evening sky, highlighting the beauty of hot air ballooning.

Mountain Biking Sonoran Trail

****   Add a review
#38 of 416 mountain bike trails in Arizona
#1,012 in the world

The Sonora Trail is smooth, but hilly, and has a 10-12 mile loop course that is
well marked at intersections. This ride is suitable for many levels, but
beginners should have good cardio and/or be prepared to pace themselves
and take breaks if necessary.
