Arizona is unlike any other place in the world. Within our state borders we encompass almost every type of climate and terrain known to man. The basin and range topography gives us our deep desert valleys surrounded by enormous trees and mountains (snow capped in the winter). This immense diversity packed into such a small area allows us to embark on adventures that most people can only imagine. Whether you are looking to explore the rugged yet beautiful desert terrain, or check out some pristine single track through the high pines, we can make your stay in Arizona an unforgettable experience. So join the Cactus Adventure Crew and let us show you what's good!
 At Cactus Adventures we pride ourselves in having a top notch operation. From our convenient delivery service to our quality bikes and guides, we have it all!

 

 

- Cactus Adventures brings your desert adventure to you. We will meet you right at the South Mountain trail head with bikes, helmets, anything you need to have a great cactus adventure and be there to pick up the bikes when you are done. Easy, fun, no hassles. If you want a guided tour, our guides will pick you up from your resort or hotel and bring you to the many beautiful locations for mountain biking in the phoenix metropolitan area. Our guests favorites are the South Mountain trails (especially Desert Classic) and the trails at McDowell Mountain Park Preserve near Fountain Hills (especially the Pemberton Loop and Sport Loops).
