Description
The White Tank Mountains, located within a 30-minute drive of metro Phoenix, offer a series of loop trails perfect for all ability level riders. The White Tank Mountains offer a reprieve from the hectic pace of urban life without too much driving time.
Several one-way loops comprise the White Tank Mountain trail system, ranging from double track jeep trail to easy single track. The White Tank trails are less traveled than many other metro area rides and are both a great location for beginners to become accustomed to trail riding and a great trail for more advanced riders to get in a good spin.
