About this campground
Recommended Users: Mountain Bikers, Hikers. Singletrack trail. 2.4 miles in length. Difficulty: Moderate/Easiest. Gould’s Trail is rolling singletrack through soft desert soils. It wends its way down the side of a desert mesa, dropping about 250 feet in elevation from the trailhead to the large cedar post corral at the bottom. The terrain is classic black brush community desert with some great views of the looming Hurricane Cliffs and smaller surrounding mesas. Mountain Biking Loop: For a 10 mile loop, combine the Gould’s Trail with the Gould’s Rim Trail, and a dirt connector road.
