Trash Can is a short mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in the Lake Havasu Field Office, about 1.9 miles long and roughly 134 feet of elevation gain from start to finish. The route begins at about 854 feet and reaches a high point of 896 feet before descending to a low of 793 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.97 miles in, where the grade reaches 6%. The most comfortable months for riding are typically November and March, when typical averages from the Lake Havasu City weather station run from highs around 75°F to 78°F and lows near 50°F. That station sits about 450 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. The route sits right next to several other trails. Watershed Loop and Friendly Fair Trail are each about 0.1 mile away, and Sonny's Trail is a hike about half a mile off. Pilot Rock Trail is about 1.2 miles away.
