Bulldog Canyon has a little of everything. Fast hard pack, deep sandy washes, and nasty rocky hills. Call the Tonto National Forest ranger station in Mesa to secure a free permit and combination lock access code to the recreation area before heading out. It's a small area where you can easily ride all the trails in less than half a day. |
