National Trail

Dogs Leashed

E-Bikes Allowed

The section of trail east of Buena Vista Parking lot is one of the best trails at South Mountain. Avoid riding the lower portion uphill. Take Mormon Trail instead. There are some significant drops and features along the way that may require scouting a line especially the waterfall.

This makes a good loop starting from the Pima Canyon Trailhead. Take the dirt road until it connects to Mormon Trail and starts to climb up. When Mormon Trail reaches National you can go left to start downhill right away, but is best down going right to finish the climb to the top of National. Once you top out shortly before the parking lot at the top turn around and enjoy the top tier trail to the bottom. This includes some very famous features such as the waterfall.
