We feature hiking trails all the time, but road biking often takes a backseat. Not anymore! These seven scenic bike trails are perfect for a day out with the family or relaxing solo ride.
- Indian Bend Trail from East Shea Boulevard (Phoenix)
AllTrails/Amy Moon At 12.9 miles, this point-to-point trail near ASU is a popular spot for both pedestrians and bicyclists. For being located in the city, it boasts some truly scenic views!
- Kiwanis Park Lakefront Trail (Tempe)
AllTrails/Sandra Walters This 0.8-mile loop circles Kiwanis Lake and the plethora of beautiful trees that surround it. With people fishing and families enjoying the outdoors, it’s a truly unparalleled place for a bike ride.
- Santa Cruz River Park Trail North (Tucson)
AllTrails/Brittney Marcano Expect to see lots of wildlife, including birds and turtles, along this 20-mile stretch near Tucson. Distant mountain views make for a truly breathtaking ride the entire way.
- Maricopa Trail: Verrado (Buckeye)
AllTrails/Tina Thompson At just 3.5 miles, the gorgeous Maricopa Trail is ideal for a quick ride. Its elevation gain is minimal, kids and pets are welcome, and the scenery is unparalleled.
- Kaibab Plateau - North Rim Parkway: Jacob Lake to Grand Canyon North Rim (Jacob Lake)
AllTrails/Oleg Yarishkin The longest trail on our list thus far, the Kaibab Plateau - North Rim Parkway spans just over 40 miles. The high desert landscape is lined with ponderosa pines, which continually grow sparser as the terrain begins changing into a more canyon-like scene. This is truly a ride for the books.
- Canada Del Oro Trail (Tucson)
AllTrails/Jim Dobbin Canada Del Oro Trail is an easy, paved route between the Whetstone and Santa Catalina mountain ranges. On a clear day, when the peaks are in full view, it’s absolute bliss.
- Beachcomber Boulevard Loop (Lake Havasu City)
AllTrails/Margie Dacey A decidedly different landscape than the previous trails, this 3.8-mile loop makes a perfect summer ride. It snakes around the island, parallelling the waterfront and offering second-to-none views throughout.
