Mountain bikers ride through a slalom-like section of the Fantasy Island mountain bike trail.
For a shot of adrenaline, tap into Tucson’s mountain-biking scene
Already one of America’s favorite bicycling cities, Tucson can no longer be considered an under-the-radar destination for the fat-tire crowd. Each February a small city of tents and RVs appears north of Tucson for what is billed as the nation’s biggest round-the-clock mountain biking event: 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo.
And most weekends, bicyclists of all ages ply the trails at Fantasy Island, Tucson Mountain Park and the Tortolita trail system, looking for fresh air, a new view — and an exhilarating descent.
