When outside of the summer season, the temperatures around Scottsdale are typically very fair. On average, Phoenix sees about 300 days of sun and especially in the late winter and spring seasons the sun encourages you to leave your sweater at home.

You don’t need to be an expert mountain biker to take our tours. The same goes for all tours, as they’re designed with the flexibility to accommodate all skill levels. Your guide can appropriately keep all members of the tour engaged, no matter if you brought your own bike from home or this is the first time you’ve ridden in years. A moderate level of fitness is the best way to prepare for our tours.

Tipping is optional and at the discretion of individual trip members. Please remember, the following suggestion is merely a guideline, not an expectation. If you feel your guide(s) did an outstanding job and would like to reward them for their efforts, a suggested guideline is 10-20% of the trip price. The guide team will divide all gratuities equally among themselves. Your guides may have access to an electronic form of payment such as Venmo or PayPal, however this is not guaranteed. We still recommend having cash on hand in order to cover any gratuities you may wish to give. Credit cards cannot be accepted.
