Description
Located within the White Mountains outside of Pinetop Arizona, the singletrack of Los Burros winds through old growth forest, a unique environment in the state of Arizona. Damp and cool conditions are welcome relief for bikers considering a mid-day summer ride.
Well maintained and marked by navigational diamonds, the Los Burros trail circumnavigates Wishbone Mountain, which rises to 8800’. The trail is located within the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. Camping is an option at the trailhead.
