High Desert Riding

Flagstaff is Arizona’s best summertime riding destination. At 7,000 feet, cooler temps and pine-tree shaded trails create the ideal environment for skill progression. Through Sedona Mountain Bike Academy (SMBA), we offer lessons, clinics, and guided rides on Flagstaff’s scenic singletrack, plus permitted access to Fort Tuthill Bike Park—featuring progression-friendly terrain from beginner to advanced. With local coaches, discounted rentals, and complimentary gear, we deliver an elevated ride experience in one of Arizona’s most underrated mountain bike destinations.

Lessons

A private lesson is the most customized experience you can book. Ranging in duration and content, this option is excellent for a range of skill levels and ages. We even work with groups who have a skill level split!
