Ridden Trail: Ridden Once

Cross Country Rider Summary: I loved this trail. Passawampitts to North Timp is the best way to go. You can really CRANK on it this way. The altitute can get you if your used to sea level, but otherwise it's not a lung buster. Recommended Route: Passawampitts to Timp Point Other recommended trails in the same area: Arizona trail

Cross Country Rider Summary: This is truely a wilderness trail (there are no locals). Bring everything you'll need to ride and survive. The trail is so well built that anyone could ride it, and it's sweetness will turn turn the pedals for you. At speed you can truely fly on the Raninbow. My wife and I camped at locust point in our Lance camper and had one of the best times of our relationship (22 years of marriage plus a little more). We did two out and backs that took about 3 hours each. My wife has only been on her bike three times this year. Experianced riders would ride each trip in an easy 2 hours. There is nothing like this trail anywhere on Earth. I suggest bring as many friends as possible because you are in big trouble if anything would happen to go wrong. It will change your life. August 6, 2006 to August 9, 2006. Recommended Route: Get the Kaibab nationl forest map and take the logical route. Don't follow the directions they give you at Jacob Lake. All of the roads were in good shape except 22 which had a fair amount of washboard.

Ridden Trail: Every few months

Cross Country Rider Summary: The trail is in great shape this spring. A few pine cones on the trail but still in perfect condition. No dust. Views are as always, breath taking. I suggest camping at the Locust site. Gives you a 18 mile ride each way. If you have riders that are not quite fit yet do the stimp to north stimp section. Very easy and very little climbing. My wife loved it. Was not to crazy about the Parawaumpits part but was able to do it. Highway 22 from 67 is very rough due to forestry work. Come from Fredonia on 22, much smoother if you can. They are doing controlled burns so you may have to move your campsite. Never affected us this weekend. Will be going back in September I think. A great fun ride for all. Temperature was in the mid to upper 70's. Have a ball!!!!! Recommended Route: Get the trail mad from the Fredonia Ranger station and take 22 up. Do not go to Jacob Lake on 89a if possible. 22 from 67 is very rough do washboard conditions. Forstry department is working in the area. Other recommended trails in the same area: None.

, from Florida Summary: This trail gives pristine views from the north rim of the GC!! Beautiful!!
Very remote, so I saw 2-3 people camping, one other biker, and one family having a pick nick in the middle of summer! The trail itself has one or two climbs to get you a little winded (it's around 7 to 8 thousand feet of elevation) but the downs are flowing, smooth, and sweet. I would highly recommend this trail for most riders, unless maybe you are not conditioned for the higher elevations. I'm from Florida, so it took me 2-3 days in northern Arizona to adjust to the thinner air. I did the full out-and-back 36 miles in 5 hours stopping at every point for the vistas, lunch, and taking pictures. Recommended Route: Parrisawampits to Timp and back to Parrisawampits. The return leg has the steepest grades on the climbs.

Ridden Trail: Please Select

Reviewed by: Dunko
, from Oz Summary: Yep, its spectacular. All single track, and though I wasnt able to complete the entire route (partner problems), Id do it again in a flash (and intend to). The single track is fast and furious, youll see wildlife and the quietest, most awe striking vistas youll see anywhere in the MTB knigdom. If you go to the GC area and dont ride this trail, youre not a true (fairdinkum) mountain biker.. Recommended Route: Good directions from the top reveiw
