Set in the vibrant city of Arizona, the Greenbelt offers an accessible yet scenic backdrop for cyclists looking to catch a sunset on two wheels. Arizona Recreation Tours specializes in turning ordinary rides into extraordinary experiences, with their Greenbelt Sunset Bike Ride serving as a highlight for residents and visitors alike.
This ride takes you along the lush, tree-lined trails that weave through the heart of the city, offering a unique vantage point of the area's diverse flora and urban landscape. As the sun begins to dip, the golden light reflects off the river and highlights stretches of native vegetation, creating a perfect moment for photography and reflection. The route features gentle inclines and smooth pathways suitable for riders of all skill levels, making it an inviting outing for families, casual cyclists, or seasoned adventurers.
What makes this ride stand out is its timing and setting. The Greenbelt hosts a variety of wildlife, including mallard ducks and kingfishers, providing natural engaging spots along the way. Plus, the local trail system is steeped in history, once being a key transportation corridor for indigenous communities, now transformed into a lively recreation corridor. Its accessibility and scenic appeal make it a go-to for those eager to enjoy an active evening with a view.
Arizona Recreation Tours combines safety, local insight, and friendly service, creating an environment where everyone can enjoy the outdoors. The sunset ride often sells out, especially during late spring and summer months, so booking in advance is advisable. Bring your curiosity—and your camera—because this ride offers just the right mix of leisure and wilderness in Arizona’s urban core.

Arizona Recreation Tours is a Scottsdale-based outfitter specializing in guided e-bike and mountain-bike experiences, rentals, and combined bike-and-walking tours across Scottsdale, Tempe Town Lake, Papago Park and Flagstaff. The company’s offerings span short, 2-hour park rides to longer 10–20 mile e-bike adventures, plus equipment rentals for independent exploration.

The Scottsdale Parks ebike & Old Town Scottsdale Walking Tour pairs a scenic 10-mile e-bike ride with a guided walking tour led by local expert Todd Davis, who provides a complimentary copy of his book. Safety and support are part of the experience: tours provide training, helmets, and guide assistance where noted, and the mountain bike rental includes quality bikes and safety gear. Signature experiences range from the Scottsdale Greenbelt E‑Bike 20 Mile Ride and the Scottsdale Parks System 15 Mile Ride to a Hole in the Rock hike, a Girls Trip Pink eBike & Hike option, and a Flagstaff E‑Bike Brewery Tour visiting breweries like Dark Sky Brewing, Mother Road Brewing, and Historic Brewing Barrel + Bottle House.
