At 7,000 ft. over 750 riders will discover the challenges and gratification from riding awesome smooth flowing single track among a Ponderosa pine forest backdrop while witnessing the endless beauty (and perfect distraction) of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests.

With the onset of fall upon us, participants, friends, family, spectators and volunteers are invited to enjoy cooler climates, witness the leaves changing colors, indulge in the area's best food, and ride seemingly endless amounts of single track.

The communities of Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside are sure to please any visitor with ample outdoor activities and plenty of opportunities to soak up local culture. Epic Rides encourages participants and their guests to spend the weekend in and around the town experiencing a vacation close to home and in the White Mountains of Arizona.
