アリゾナの湖・トップ20

For a woman from the Texas plains, this ride is pure magic! The Granite Dells are stunning and are also of many formations! Mostly a steady flat ride with few slight inclines.

The fitness loop around the golf course is perfect for a Gravel bike.

Above the Maiden Falls are the Maiden Pools – the trail goes above the pools, and it requires some off trail walking to get down to them – use your discretion and be aware that walking off trail can permanently damage habitats. Once at the pools, be very cautious of flash flooding possibilities (the only way down is over the falls), and take care not to go near the edge ... it's a long way down. Act responsibly, make good decision, enjoy.

Not big enough to swim in, but definitely cool to see! The Maiden pools are a collection of small indentations of sitting water. Depending on the season the entire area can be covered in water, which in my opinion is not as exciting!

Really good views to the entire city on top

This paved trail runs more than 10 miles total along both sides of the Rio Salado, or Salt River, which extends west into Tempe Town Lake.

Out of this world rock formations!

The western bank of Watson Lake is home to piles of Granite Dells. These massive boulders jut out of the water and from the shore, offering views the entire time you bike along the edge of the reservoir. With multiple trails, a wide grassy area, and a handful of picnic tables, Watson Lake Park is popular for a number of recreational users.
