Trash Can is a short, rolling out-and-back mountain biking route in SARA Park, on county land in Arizona. The ride is about 2.2 miles long, with a total climb of 272 feet and a high point of 884 feet. It's a moderate route, and the steepest stretch comes at about the 1-mile mark, where the grade reaches 6%. The most comfortable months for riding are typically November and March, when typical averages from the nearby Lake Havasu City weather station run from highs around 75°F to 78°F and lows near 50°F. That station sits about 435 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. The route sits close 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 0.5 mile off. Pilot Rock Trail is about 1.2 miles away.
