Sun Valley Mine | Arizona

Experience peacefulness and solitude as you ride the Bureau of Land Management's Sunshine Loop through fascinating desert scenery. Interesting dry washes, colorful buttes and abruptly rising escarpments impress mountain bikers all along this half-day trip. 

The 8.5-mile (13.5 km) loop trail has a More Difficult Rating mostly because of difficult trial surfaces in some stretches.
