Have been riding this area each Saturday for the last 4 weeks. Definitely something for everyone. Can ride for hours without running into anyone else. Great scenery/views. Ride to the larger hills, take a break and take in the views. Watch out for the several sandy trails and roads. Will bog you down.

All of these trails equal an awsome ride. I ride this desert at least once a week.. strongly suggest this one

Too many good trails. I fess up I haven't ridden on this system for 3 years but I've been busy. I'm nearing the opportunity to go again. My old mountain bike was just a front suspension and now I have full suspension. Plus my roommmate's moving out and I have the gumption to put my bike near the door for a quick getaway to Dynamite. Last time I rode I did not have enough water and I got lost east of "Girls just want to have fun" on some trail that had lots of boring level zig zags. I decided to think and climbed up a hill far enough to see the powerlines. Then headed straight west, not caring whether I would be approaching snakes or not. But I came to a dual track trail and then I knew where I was. Well worth riding, folks! This could be my New Years Day ride.

Great place to ride,,endless single and double tracks. There are some ATV's around, but I saw more mtn bikers than ATV's. Great views. Better directions ..take 101 fwy (Pima fwy) (watch out for speed cameras on roads in this area) North, Off Pima/Princess offramp. take Pima north a few miles to Dynamite, park on side of road and head north by the power lines....take lots of water and get ready for some great climbs. Its a bit uphill from the cars for miles, its a fast ride back..enjoy!!!

Oh yeah,,,,the only sand I found was on the fire road,,,stay on the single tracks and you will have a great ride!!!! It's worth the drive for the ride............and views..enjoy

The directions given above are wrong. When you get to Scottsdale road and Dynamite, go east to Pima and Dynamite and start there.

Robert must have stuck to the fire/powerline road. The single tracks are awesome and endless.

too much loose gravel and hard to find the way. be prepared to work for every foot you travel!

Nice ride, but somewhat slow, not many fast downhills. Last post is important ALWAYS CARRY AS MUCH WATER AS YOU CAN>
