THIS IS A MUST RIDE trail in Arizona | Red Mountain Rush (RMR) at Hawes Trail System | Phoenix, AZ

If you have an opportunity to ride in Phoenix, Arizona, make sure you checkout Hawes Trail System. This trail system is close to Scottsdale and within the Mesa region. It contains XC and all mountain type of trails within the Tonto National Forest.
This is the first time riding my bike here in Arizona. If you checkout Trailforks, this areas has hundreds of trails. After some KZbin research, Red Mountain Rush also known as “RMR,” caught my attention the most. Why? It has scenic views, good flow, and mostly downhill! This trail will not disappoint. First 25% is gnarly with steep sections and hairpin switchbacks. Then the rest is flow.
I was fortunate to be shuttled from Bush Lite Parking lot to Usery Parking Lot at Lance’s Trailhead. This cut my climbing more than half.

As always you capture the environment so beautifully. Great job on the drone shot and all the b roll. Aces. Plus you rode it like a champ. Great stuff.

Thank you brother!

Incredible view and great editing! Probably one of your best rides so far. Drone shots were perfect and good timing as you ended the video with the sun going down.

[@DavePFilms]

Thank you so much 🙏🏼. I was very lucky with the drone shots. It was the perfect condition outside and didn’t see any other riders or hikers on the trail. Glad you liked it!

Hope you had a blast at my home trails!

[@DavePFilms]

Your home trails are awesome! Hawes is such a great place to ride with tons of variety. And the scenery is epic. I’m planning another trip back from NM and will be bringing my son this time.

Hi, do you post the route in Strava or any other place?

[@patrickgibbons8353]

Hawes is in Mesa! Not Phoenix!!!!

[@mikestivers8302]

almost as bad as "we went camping up in Payson"

[@bettyspinks5366]

I would take the music out of your videos. It's the reason you're not getting more subs!
