Wing Mountain used to be open to OHV, but last time I went (about 4 years ago) a park ranger stopped me and said no OHV was allowed (and I had an OHV sticker). And it is not listed on the AZ Parks OHV website.

I live in Phoenix, so don't get up there much. But the most popular place I am aware of is the Cinders OHV area that is NE of Flagstaff. Not much for jumps, lots of whoops. Strange crushed volcanic rock so a very unique riding area.

On the AZ State parks map, the only other legal OHV area near Flagstaff is Kelly Canyon east of town. Never been there and there wasn't much info on the State website.

No actual motocross tracks have ever operated near Flagstaff that I can recall. The closest one was just outside Cottonwood but it closed (still there, just not open). Another OHV area just across the highway is still open between Cottonwood and Camp Verde.

Hello all,
I’m New to northern AZ. I live in Williams. I have been traveling down to buckeye to ride ACP “great track” .. I not a fan of canyon. Sadly their vet track is a joke, and the 40$ to ride it kills me.. I have a little turn track but it gets a little boring. Now that the weather warming up, I’m seeing bikes in the back of trucks every time I goto flagstaff. Where to ride around here??? Someone suggested Wing Mountain?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much...-R

There is Mesquite MX near St. John's Utah, I believe, just over the border and there was a track in Lake Havasu called 921? I think you're better off with ACP though.

Western is a work in progress I think... its decomposed granite and sand over a hard base and they don’t have a way to rip the ground for prep so I think currently that’s holding them back. Every jump is shaped different with either too steep of a face or landing or too shallow and I think that detracts from the experience. It is an option and some guys love it so maybe give it a try... if you do let me know and I can meet you out there as the intermediate and Vet tracks are pretty fun.

I grew up in Scottsdale/ Tempe and I really like Canyon I know it’s a love it or hate it place and the recent change to 40 bucks entry is a little obnoxious. I’ve been to ACP and it looks really nice but I didn’t get a chance to ride that day. Some guys mentioned ET in Mesa and it’s been over 15 years since I’ve been there so I can’t comment on the current condition but it was not the greatest back then... I have heard it’s a lot better than it was “back in the day”

Hope that helps... there is shit for riding in Vegas so I know the feeling and why we usually drive to SoCal to ride... just did 3 hrs one way to Sunrise MX in Adelanto today!

928 Mx in lake Havasu and also western raceway in white hills. Western looks way better as far as dirt then Havasu with a variety of tracks. I’m going to try it in the near future...

Hey bvm111, thank you. I’ve started following Western raceway on Instagram. I grew up in phx, racing canyon, thrasherland, etc. I’ve been living in SoCal the past 18 years, where I could pretty much ride one of 6 tracks, any day of the week. I lived 2miles from Perris raceway and 10 miles from Lake Elsinore.. Pala/Fox has been the track to be At lately.. great track!! I broke my foot on the AM track at Pala in 17. So now I ride the vet tracks. I’m 46. ACP has a ripping vet track.. I’ll goto to canyon again. But 40$ on top of the time and travel and gas money. Its just a bummer. I knows it’s only 10$ more. Shoots! Sorry for getting off track... sure I’ll hit you up when I make it out to western.. till then ride safe!! Thanks..-R

I’ll be 46 this summer I bet we were at Canyon and Thrasher at the same time... man Thraser at night during the summer nights was a blast!!!

Yeah Canyon wouldn’t even give a military break which I was surprised about. I’ve been to Milestone, LACR, and now sunrise and they give us a discount so 25 bucks is great...get to Canyon and it’s a resounding NO when we asked. Sucks because Canyon in the mid 90s to early 2000s was my hangout... Wednesday and Friday night practice and having a couple beers before driving home, I know i was a trouble maker back then, are some of my fondest memories from back then!

I ride with Wildeye511 on here and he is same age and we just go to ride and have fun now... let me know if you are heading down to ride ACP. I just drove home from PHX yesterday and I’m down there all the time and would love to try it out.

My screen name @hotmail is my email send me a message and we can meet up. We were just in Williams and Flag this week too... spring break and took my son to Bearizona. If you haven’t tried Historic Brewing there in Williams give it a try if you like micro brew it was really good!

I wish there was more out here man! I think ACP is the best option for moto. I haven't been able to find a track preped decently out here besides ACP...

Thrasher land night practice and race days were awesome. I moved away and haven't been to ET in 5 years or more but Jonah really turned that place around. The dirt was loamy the last time i rode it.

ET is decent when it's actually open. Generally it's open from later November thru late February on Sundays only. The dude that owns it is all about his circle track/mub bogs/ sand drags, but it was originally permitted as moto and if he totally shuts moto down they'll yank his permit. I used to live less than 5 miles from ET and drove right past it by another 80 to get to ACP. Another really good track is motoland in Casa Grande. Very well maintained, has a store on site, covered parking and an SX track.

I'm not open to the public but if you want to come out and ride sometime let me know.

This post is exactly what I was looking for. I live in Surprise and just bought a yz250f after 20 years since I quit racing. Excited there are a couple tracks within an hour but bummed that's it'll be 115 soon and was thinking I won't be able to ride a track until Fall. Surprised there isn't a good MX track up north...maybe a worthy investment to buy some land and have one built.
