The only issue is that a lot of the biking trails are quite far away; they either require you to drive or bike there. But that doesn\u2019t have to be the case, because most people don\u2019t know that a huge part of the Arizona Trail is right at NAU\u2019s back doorstep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-landscape-image wp-image-1753 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/176\/unnamed-464x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"215\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re ever on south campus, looking for a way to exercise and get a good pedal in, then I recommend heading to this elaborate trail system. There are so many fun and flowy trails that appeal to a multitude of skill levels. The trails range from flat, twisty, and fast to chunky, long, and steep. I highly recommend these trials for a couple of reasons. One is that it is a part of the urban trail system and therefore connects to the Arizona Trial; for that reason, you\u2019ll see and communicate with a lot of people and possibly make some riding buddies. Another reason is the scenery that you\u2019ll be welcomed too; it doesn\u2019t get more beautiful than this. To get there, refer to the map directions below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-landscape-image wp-image-1758 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/176\/unnamed-2-2-464x348.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"348\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Directions:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head northeast on E McConnell Dr<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn left onto S San Francisco St<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slight right onto Arizona Trail<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue straight to stay on Arizona Trail<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharp left onto S Lone Tree Rd<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn right onto Brannen Cir\/S O&#8217;Leary St<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn left onto Arizona Trail<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn right to stay on Arizona Trail<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, the entire trail system is at your fingertips, enjoy!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-landscape-image wp-image-1754 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/176\/unnamed-2-464x348.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"348\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- shortcode-block-quote -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-block-quote shortcode-block-quote--right\">\n    <div class=\"shortcode-block-quote__inner-container\">\n        <span>Zach K.<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mountain biking has a huge presence in Flagstaff, especially among college students looking for a way to blow off steam and have some fun.
