Dropping!
Looking for a backcountry, big mountain ride with epic views, thousands of feet of descending, and adventures such as stream crossings and diverse terrain? HG finds creative ways to ride the best trails…
Join us for a guided ride starting at the top of Mt Lemmon to access the epic backcountry trail, Red Ridge. This ride starts at almost 10k feet elevation, and finishes at 2800k feet at the 50 Year trail. Steep descents, technical switchbacks, one long grueling climb, and finishing at the iconic 50 year trail system, this is THE ride in Tucson! Red Ridge requires advanced fitness and bike handling skills. More about Red Ridge…
RED RIDGE TRAIL This recently rehabbed trail is a downhiller’s paradise! With wide open sight lines and steep ridge lines, this trail provides fast and loose turns with proper elevation drop (descends 3500′ in 5 miles). Check out the dirt surfing on the backside of Lemmon! Red Ridge connects to other segments of trail, with 20+ miles of riding and takes most riders 4-6 hours.
