Hawes Trail System

Short Description

The Hawes Loop Trail system in North Mesa is a collection of wonderfully well trod singletrack trails that cris-cross and loop through pristine desert landscape. It is a local favorite that has a little bit of everything for every rider.

Ride Details

There’s nothing too steep or technical about the Hawes area, it’s just great XC desert riding. The Mine Loop (Saguaro trail) has the steepest climbs and descents, but nothing an intermediate rider can’t digest.

The beauty of this system is all the interconnecting loops…There’s Hawes Trail No. 52, Ridge Trail No. 59, Granite Trail No. 54, Saguaro Trail No. 50, and Saddle Trail No. 51. These trails make up the main body of the system.

For some additional adventure you can ride the Twisted Sister trail and the Wild Horse trail. These trails are currently unmarked and are part of the Sonoran Desert Trail System Expansion Project that will designate them as official trails that connect Hawes to Pass Mountain.
