Description

Deem Hills Circumference loop can be accessed on both the W and E side of the park. It is a nice, roughly six mile ride around Deem Hills park with several cruiser areas, along with a couple technical, rocky switchback areas. It provides access to a few steeper saddle trails inside the park.

The trail is very well marked, with some cool views of north Phoenix. In general it is fairly rocky, so bring tubes just in case. This trail is much less crowded than neighboring Thunderbird park. Enjoy!

Trail had quite a few fun areas but was significantly rocky in a lot of the uphill areas but overall a trail I'll ride again
