I only ride this spot so I won't be much help. You will be coming in the middle of summer so it will be too hot here in the Phoenix area (about 1000 feet). Moab, Utah seems to be the place to go with lots of trails and bike rentals, but at 4000 feet it will still get a bit warm unless they have some weather.

sweet video. Im from Germany an I'm gonna go to New Mexico and Arizona for some Mountainbiking in 4 weeks. Any trials you can suggest to me?

I really just do this one trail, but riding here in the low desert now can be brutal. On Sunday I started at sunrise and it was already 88 degrees. Later in the day it was 112. Recommend a web search for trails that are higher up.

I just rode this trail on Wed evening and misjudged the time so as I was descending it was quite dark - great to see the trail with some light. Super ride though. The waterfall section looked hairy to me

The waterfall has changed a lot over the years and is getting easier. I use to see a little bit of blood at the bottom every couple of months. Me? I just pick my line and then ... walk it down.

@rgrams1 have you rode it at night?

[varminthunter805]

@slomo8888 when i visited there i rode every tail at south mountain at least twice i rode 90% of red mountain and the disapointing Santan mountain south and red are way fun you have to ride up and then down some techy parts adn lots of fun, i suggest south mountain decent at night at least once i did an epic decent no light with a buddy city on the left coyotes on the right best ride i have done and i ride southern california every other day

nice video, i'm always impressed, but as a hiker, i'm equally terrified by how fast all the bikers are going on those trails

ya 112 can be brutal but 88 is NICE for riding. Thats the coolest it will get in Phoenix.
