McDowell Sonoran Conservancy: Desert Discovery Ride

Pima Dynamite is very popular with mountain bikers; it provides fun trails designed to climb easily into the northern section and escape the crowds! On the way round, we’ll take in some of the more spectacular rock features in this part of the Preserve and ponder changes in the land and what grows on it, as well as the fascinating Brown’s Ranch history. People have lived in this desert for thousands of years and it’s intertwined with the story of prospectors populating the West. Intermediate ride, up to 3 hours. A bike with wide knobby tires is required. Please, no road bikes, hybrids, or folding bikes. Please check the working order of your bike before you leave home. Helmets required. Bring water and snacks for the trail. Restrooms and water available at the trailhead. Arrive 15 minutes before start of ride. No electric assist bikes.
