I love this place. There are way more trails than what's shown on the trail head map. I did 21.5 miles there yesterday according to my GPS and didn't go over the same place twice. This is a great place to race around as fast as you can go, just watch out for the cactus that lines the trail throughout. This is a great Tucson oasis.

This trail system is a lot of fun. I didn’t’ expect much since it looks flat and boring from the road but it is actually a blast to ride. Twist and turn through the cactus and through washes. Not crowded at all and I seem to be the only one that does any night riding out there. I tend to get lost but you can just keep riding all day since it’s so fun. Slime and line your tires for this one.

Now 19 miles of trails, 6 loops. Some will be lost to development but not the main, best parts. If you can catch in in spring during a good bloom it's a great wildflower area.

I am from New Mexico, a friend of mine and fellow rider built this trail up huge...Well, good call amigo. Great ride for all levels, wear a helmet and rip it through the tight turns, you'll dig it. Enjoy!

Fun XC type training trail, Not technical or stupid like some other "AZ XC" labeled trails. "AZ XC" refers to the ignorance of locals labeling XC on something that is AM. I guess they just don't know the difference.

The trail is enjoyable but not very challenging. Good ride for beginner to intermediate riders. The best way I can describe it is a cross between BMX and mountain biking.

Fantasy island is a work of art. Ride the hell out of it again and again, and pray they don't try and "develop" it.

i'm from michigan but went out to arizona a couple years back and had the opportunity to ride this trail. it is great fun and very fast - not a lot of uphills like we like it around here but all the other cool stuff made up for it. definately a trail to ride if you get a chance - you'll want to ride it over and over.

I love this trail! A little too tough for fresh noobs but great for average to advanced riders! A must for Tucson riders.

Awesome singletrack (100%) that you can rip through as fast as you want. Its almost like 1/2 MTB 1/2 BMX. Tons of fun to ride.
