Cinder Hills offers 13,500 acres of volcanic terrain with loose lava pebbles, 19 miles of double-track trails, sweeping ridgelines, and the iconic 900-ft "Hundred-Dollar Hill." The surface rides like deep sand--traction is tricky, so tire pressure and throttle control are key.
Ideal for intermediate to advanced riders, this open area favors hill climbs and high-speed loops over jumps or tight singletrack. Navigation requires GPS, and camping is dispersed with minimal services. An Arizona OHV decal and spark arrestor are required. Best explored spring through fall for full-day, off-the-grid riding.Dirt Bike Trail System
