Great long loop with a 50 / 50 mix of blacktop and dirt. 90% easy, FAST, dirt roads with a touch of easy/moderate jeep road between Bloody Basin and Dugas. This route follows the Great Western Trail from Carefree, AZ to the I-17. Then runs the scenic Fossil Creek Road down to the decommissioned Childs Power Plant along the Verde River. | |

Fast dirt roads and short challenging rocky sections will get you to Sheep Bridge and Horseshoe Dam. |

The Montana Mountain loop is an easy ride with spectacular views. There are a few steep climbs that should be no problem for a rider with some off road experience, even with street tires. This loop is best ridden clockwise. Be sure to exit around the gate after the quary, otherwise take the 1 mile hill to the left which is rated EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Pinal Peak is another easy loop of almost all graded roads. | |

Seven Springs Road from Carefree is easy fast graded dirt road. Same with the drive up to Humbolt Lookout, which provides spectacular 360 degrees views of Horseshoe Lake and the surrounding area. Table Mesa Road can be easy to moderate depending on recent weather events. |

Great easy ride. Fast graded dirt roads. Scenery is better traveling from west to east. Crossing the Agua Fria River near Cordes Junction could be a problem after heavy rains. Otherwise the crossing is usually a trickle. |
