North Trail is a short, easy out-and-back mountain biking route in Arizona on Bureau of Land Management land within the Tucson Field Office. The trail's 0.18-mile distance and flat, 0.36-mile round trip make it a simple way to get on singletrack in the desert, with no elevation gain to manage. It's a beginner-friendly ride, ideal for skills practice, warm-ups or introducing newcomers to mountain biking. The trail sits at about 2,465 feet, and the surrounding area offers several other short routes close by. Far West Trail and Coyote Loop are each about 0.1 mile away, and Ridge Loop is just as close. Old Indian Path, a hike, lies about 0.2 mile off. For a longer outing, Gate's Pass is about 3 miles away.
