The Ride

Overview

Guided mountain bike tour of the Black Canyon Trial near Phoenix, AZ between Scottsdale and Sedona. With Rim Tours, Moab's Original Mtb outfitter.

Join Rim Tours for a fantastic mountain bike journey through the upper Sonoran Desert between Scottsdale and Sedona, including the Sonoran Preserve and Black Canyon Trails. The sometimes challenging terrain hosts saguaro forests and rugged canyons and offers exciting long-distance singletrack that is classified as an IMBA Epic Ride and a National Recreation Trail. We will meet in Phoenix so travel shouldn’t be hard to arrange to whisk you from cold winter temps to sunshine and short sleeves. New for 2026, this will be a four-day tour. We start with a warm-up day in Scottsdale, then head north to the start of the Black Canyon Trail, where we spend 3 days on The Black Canyon Trail and staying at the historic Bumblebee dude ranch. Expect pokey cactus, potential water crossings and challenging riding. The Black Canyon Trail is an advanced route.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

The Multi-Day Difference

Everything hauled, cooked, and set up — you just ride.

A Rim Tours multi-day camping trip is a fully supported, fully catered backcountry experience. You pedal world-class trails all day; we carry the gear, run the kitchen, and have camp — cold drink in hand — waiting when you roll in.

Rugged Overland Support

A purpose-built 4x4 support truck carries every bag, tent, and cooler — so you ride light and free, with a lift or a break never far away.
Full Camp Kitchen

A complete mobile kitchen rolls with us, run by guides who genuinely cook. Real, fresh meals in the heart of the backcountry.
Fresh Trail Lunches

Midday spreads built right on the trail — never sad, squished, pre-made sandwiches.
Hot Dinners in Camp

Hearty, satisfying dinners cooked fresh every evening under the desert stars.
Cold Drinks, Always

Plenty of water and ice, the cold beverages you love waiting at camp, and crisp cold sparkling water out on the trail.
Camp Set & Waiting

Camp chairs, a relaxed camp, and your tent already set up when you roll in. Arrive, unwind, refuel.
Deeply Experienced Guides

Guides with decades on these trails — part navigator, part mechanic, part chef, part storyteller.
