Rollercoaster Ridge

Trail Overview

This trail has some steep climbs and descents up the rolling desert hills, making it fun and scenic. It rides past big paloverde trees lining the trail and towering saguaros. This area is very green and scenic in the winter and springtime before it gets too hot to ride. The trail follows a ridge line between the peaks of the hills. Each ascent is full of small, loose rocks that test your traction, but with enough momentum, the climbs are not overly difficult. Just be prepared for a steep approach and little room at the top of the peak to maneuver before descending again. Some of the hills are even more loose and rutted. The trail is wide like a two-track for the entire route, and is unmarked at both ends with no signage for width designations.
