Goat Camp Trail – White Tank Mountain

Mountain biking

If you like remote paths with extremely technical challenges, this round is just right for you. A unique adventure awaits you in White Tank Mountain Regional Park. The trails are lonely, wild and pristine. The ideal terrain for experienced mountain bikers who feel at home on tricky trails.

It starts at the White Tank Campground, where there are also numerous parking spaces nearby. First you take the Mesquite Canyon Trail under your tires. This magnificent path winds steeply in a series of curves up to a saddle. This section is really nice and easy to drive on.

As soon as you hit Willow Canyon, the fun begins on the Goat Camp Trail. On the first section, the narrow path continues uphill through a picturesque landscape. There are always breathtaking views to the east along the way and sometimes you can even catch a glimpse of Phoenix.

After climbing the final peak, the Goat Camp Trail winds steeply downhill through a gorge. This downhill really has it all: it is technically demanding and will keep you on your toes. Comfortable rolling down is not an option here. On the contrary, you slowly circle yourself and your bike through narrow bends, over angular stones and boulders lying across. You are always on the edge. So special caution is required!

Anyone who loves this type of path and masters the obstacles with flying colors will arrive at the bottom with a big grin and won't forget the round in a hurry, we promise!

Mesquite Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Mesquite Trail is one of the busiest trails in the White Tanks, so you'll need to keep an eye out for hikers. It's also quite technical, with lots of rock features, though it does mellow a bit as you get to the final mile or so.

Goat Camp Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Goat Camp Trail is a Double Black Diamond trail and for many will be quite a challenge. The upper section, just off of Mesquite Trail, is the mellowest and can be ridden as an out & back. As you make the turn and start the downhill things get steep, gnarly, & rocky. Take your time and hike-a-bike where needed.
