Mountain Biking Thunderbird Park
#73 of 417 mountain bike trails in Arizona
This trail is very rocky. Bring plenty of water because there is no shaded areas and it gets hot in Arizona. Overall a fun trail. I used a hard tail with a head shock but took it easy as to not blow out a tire or shock. A full suspension bike is recommended.

Update to my previous post. I rode the ACTUAL Cholla loop today (wrong one last time). HOLY COW! Lots of hike a bike moments. For a beginner - this was not too much fun. Very technical switchbacks with large rocks. My legs were bloody from all the rocks and cactus I ran into and fell on. Wife questioned my choice in hobby several times. Kids showed concern for a brief moment but then went back their phones. I enjoy challenges - so I will be back when I get a little more experienced.
| ThankGood mix of flats and rocks. Heart rate got up there on the climbs. Road the Cholla loop this morning. Fairly short ride.
| ThankGreat trail for a quick ride after/before work. Not very long but enough elevation to get the legs working. Like similar posts have mentioned, don't go on the weekend, foot traffic is heavy.
| ThankFun techy trails that challenge you with great features and good climbs. Only reason it gets a 4 is because it sometimes is so crowded hard to ride it with all the foot traffic. DO NOT TRY IT ON A WEEKEND
| ThankMore for a full suspension bike, extremely rocky. Their are also a lot of hikers.
| ThankNo way you need a full suspension bike to ride out here as the trail description says.
