Chaparral is a short mountain biking ride in Tucson Mountain Park, Arizona, on county-managed land about a third of a mile from the park's center. The route is an out-and-back that runs about 0.7 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 76 feet and a high point of 2,712 feet. It is a low-impact outing, with a mostly flat climb that peaks at around 3% grade about a fifth of the way in. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 75°F and October highs around 86°F, while June and July climb to about 100°F and bring more wet days. Other outings sit close by. Golden Gate Mountain Loop and Gate's Pass are both about 0.4 miles away, Golden Gate Trail is about half a mile off, and Ringtail Trail is roughly 0.6 miles away.
