help wit desert classic

Post by bpetroni »

I have been mountain biking in AZ for awhile and want to try the South Mountain trails out. I want to try out Desert Classic tomorrow morning but have a question. The trail discription listed under Desert Classic on this sight says "one-way only" How do I loop back to my vehicle?

The distance is one way. You can travel either way on your bike or hiking. :)

Desert Classic is technically "out and back". There are several options for looping around on the trail, but end to end it is out and back.

Edit: the description says "one way" for the mileage - meaning it is ~9 miles end to end. 18 if you go all the way and back. It doesn't mean "one way" as in there is only one direction of travel.
