Featured Trails and Trail Systems

This National Recreational Trail is the Premier Trail in the the Pinal Mountains and is enjoyed by all users. Mountain Bikers love it for its views and thrill ride. Hikers love it for its view and overall beauty and people just getting out to explore are taken back by its beauty. A must visit trail when visiting Pinal Mountain.

This Arizona favorite is home to the closest Aspen stand to the valley and provides beautiful fall colors and cooler summer time temperatures due to its location within Ice House Canyon. Mountain Bikers and Hikers alike enjoy this Pinal Mountain gem.

This hidden gem was discovered and promoted by early TGR members for its close proximity to the valley and the 2700ft elevation loss. This was overlooked by many because of its close proximity to the Mazatzal Wilderness and being one of the only trails in the area outside its boundary. Today it remains largely lightly used but a renewed interest has brought this gem back into the light and with that some increasing use by mountain bikers. Best done as a shuttle.

Located less than 2 hours from the valley of the sun hidden out east is one of Arizona's premier Sky Islands. Pinal Mountain is home to numerous great trails that are enjoyed by all. It has been a mountain bike favorite for many decades. Most of the trails descend/ascend approx. 3000ft and traverse from Pines to Desert. A special place that it is the second home for a great deal of the members of Tonto Gravity Riders.     

Love by many this is indeed one of Arizona's premier Sonoran Desert Trail Systems. It has grown from a small network of trails into a larger network of trails/ connectors that provide users with a varying experience from tame single track to some black diamond treats. A trail system that is always evolving to meet the needs of the users. Choose your own adventure in this network of fun trails. Want a short spin? Want to do an all day ride?

Kellner Canyon Trail is one of Pinal Mountain's  premier trails. This trail traverses the upper drainage of Kellner Canyon and passes by many old remnants of the old sawmill that once was in operation in the upper reaches of Kellner Canyon.  Views from Kellner are unique and all users enjoy this trail equally.

Located about an hour east of PHX is this AZT gem. The back drop to this trails is very unique and is very popular with all users equally. Best time of year is during wild flower season. The views combined with blooming flowers produce memories that will last a lifetime. Maintained by the Arizona Trail Association.  

The upper portion of the telephone trail sees very little use therefore its rough and hard to follow at times. Expect a back country experience if you choose to use this trail. There are plans to do a full rehab to increase the use of this pines to chapparal experience.

​

Lower Telephone is the preferred route to take when also riding/hiking down telephone to Icehouse CCC
