Mountain Biking the Gilbert Regional Trails
Gilbert has quietly become a mountain biking destination with a growing network of desert trails. The Riparian Preserve trail system and nearby San Tan Mountain Regional Park offer miles of single-track through classic Sonoran Desert terrain. Saguaro cacti, jackrabbits, and panoramic mountain views keep the ride interesting from start to finish.
Rent a bike locally or bring your own and hit the trails early before the afternoon heat sets in. The terrain ranges from smooth, rolling paths to technical rocky sections that will challenge experienced riders.
Best Trails to Ride
- San Tan Loop Trail for sweeping desert views
- Goldmine Trail for moderate technical riding
- Riparian Preserve paths for easy, family-friendly rides
- Connected canal paths for long-distance road riding
After your ride, cool off at your Gilbert vacation rental. Rinse the dust off, stretch out on the couch, and plan tomorrow's adventure. Your rental is your personal recovery zone.
