Downhill Mountain Biking
Arizona’s Only Lift-Served Mountain Biking
Experience the thrill of downhill mountain biking unlike anything you have experienced in Arizona. Sunrise Park Resort offers the only lift-served downhill mountain biking in Arizona with several trails that all start at the top of Sunrise Mountain and bring riders down through some of the most beautiful forests in the state. Bring your own bike and gear or rent one of several models of brand-new high-end Specialized bikes.
Helmets are required for all mountain bikers. Full-face helmets and elbow/knee pads are recommended and are available for rent at the base.
