Popular Tour Destinations with HappyCat LLC

HappyCat LLC operates in these two mountain preserves known for their diverse trails and stunning landscapes. Here are some highlights:

Phoenix Mountain Preserve

This preserve runs East-West through the heart of metro phoenix, but yet offers a sense of Sonoran Desert solitude and unique desert beauty. There are areas within the preserve where there is nothing man-made within your site. Trails are all single track, connecting to a paved path at Dreamy Draw Trailhead, or also connecting to local street trailheads. Trails are a mix of packed singletrack to rocky technical sections. There are flat sections, which cross down and through washes. As well as ascents and descents which can be easy to difficult. Trails are appropriate for beginners but can also appeal to intermediate riders looking to improve their skills while enjoying nature. Managed by the city of Phoenix, E-bikes are permitted. It is a 1 mile street ride to gain access to the nearest trailhead.

McDowell Sonoran Preserve

Located in far northern Scottsdale, AZ, but still part of the Phoenix valley. E-bikes are allowed in this preserve ONLY if tagged with personal stickers issued by the city of Scottsdale, who is the managing municipal. Thus, for rental bikes, only manual or analog bikes are feasible for riding in this preserve. Having said that, the trails here are mostly smooth and sandy, with your choice of seeking out technical spots. So, quite do-able on a regular mountain bike. Riding in this preserve does entail a 20 minute drive to the nearest trailhead.

Tips for Preparing for Your Mountain Bike Tour

To get the most out of your tour with HappyCat LLC, consider these preparation tips:

• Dress Appropriately: Wear moisture-wicking clothing and sturdy shoes. Layering helps to adjust to changing weather. Knee high compression socks can offer comfort as well as protection from desert plants that have encroached upon the trail.

• Hydrate and Fuel Up: Bring water and snacks to maintain energy levels during the ride. Backpacks with bladders (such as Camelback brand) are ideal.

• Bring Personal Items: Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a small backpack for essentials will improve your comfort.

• Communicate Your Experience: Be honest about your skill level when booking to ensure the right tour match.

• Listen to Your Guide: Follow safety tips and ask questions to learn more about riding techniques.
