Sidewinder Tower Drop in 4K | Phoenix Sonoran Preserve | Ride Recon

Join us for another Ride Recon through the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve as we take on an approximately 11-mile route of classic Sonoran Desert singletrack featuring Ocotillo, Sidewinder, the Radio Tower, and the descent to Apache Wash Trailhead. The ride begins by climbing Ocotillo Trail clockwise, dodging rattlesnakes and making our way toward the Radio Tower near the western high point of Sidewinder Trail. After reaching the tower, it's time to enjoy the descent toward Apache Wash Trailhead, dropping back onto Ocotillo Trail before turning around and making our way back. This ride delivers a great mix of climbing, flowing desert singletrack, rocky terrain, and fast, rewarding descents—with incredible Sonoran Desert scenery throughout. If you're looking for a great way to experience the trails around Apache Wash, come along as we recon this 11-mile Sonoran Desert loop and check out the Sidewinder Tower Drop for yourself. 🎥 Chapters 0:00 Ride Intro & Climb to Tower 5:34 Sidewinder to Apache Wash T.H. 8:45 Ocotillo Trail Encore 🚵 Ride Highlights 🌵 Phoenix Sonoran Preserve 🔄 Approximately 11 miles of Sonoran Desert singletrack ⬆️ Clockwise climb on Ocotillo Trail 📡 Radio Tower near the western high point of Sidewinder 🐍 Sidewinder Trail ⬇️ Tower descent toward Apache Wash Trailhead 🌵 Return via Ocotillo Trail 🏜️ Classic Sonoran Desert scenery and terrain Ride Recon — exploring the trails, checking the route, and knowing before you ride. #RideRecon #SidewinderTrail #OcotilloTrail #ApacheWash #RadioTower #PhoenixSonoranPreserve #PhoenixAZ #PhoenixMountainBiking #ArizonaMTB #MountainBiking #MTB #SonoranDesert #PhoenixTrails #ArizonaTrails #DesertMountainBiking
