North Trail is a short, easy green circle trail on Bureau of Land Management land in the Tucson Field Office, about 0.12 miles from the start. It's a flat out-and-back with no elevation gain, making it a simple loop for beginners to get comfortable on natural surface trails in Arizona's desert. The trail is described as beginner-friendly, with typical Arizona desert conditions: vegetation and sections that may be sandy or rocky. The brief distance works well for skills practice or as a warm-up before longer rides. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 76°F and November highs around 76°F, while June and July average about 102°F. Ridge Loop and Old Indian Path sit about 0.1 mile away, and Coyote Loop and West Loop are each about 0.2 mile off.
