The experience

The Greenbelt is a paved path that runs through Scottsdale without crossing streets, which means you spend two hours seeing the city's best views instead of watching traffic. You'll pass 30 points of interest: Camelback Mountain dominates the horizon for almost the entire ride, and you'll see McDowell and Mummy Mountains, Arizona lakes stocked with fish, PGA-rated golf courses with their own mountain backdrops, and the manicured green space of parks locals use for recreation. The path also cuts through McCormick Ranch, an exclusive gated neighborhood where mansions ring a lake with stunning views: most visitors and locals never find it.

The tour includes a live guide speaking English, an audio receiver and headset so you hear narration clearly over wind and wheels, a helmet, and bottled water. You'll ride past the Diamondbacks' Spring Training stadium on the Pima Native American Reservation, along portions of Arizona's canal system where prairie dogs and occasionally bald eagles appear, and through tunnel underpasses that break up the ride. The 15–20 miles you cover is manageable on an e-bike, so the pace stays relaxed even with the distance.

The operator has run this tour for 20 years and keeps groups small enough that you're not herded through. If you want to add a meal after, two restaurants sit right on the tour route as you enter McCormick Ranch. One is a gastropub on the water with a patio, the other specializes in fajitas.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is Camelback Mountain and why does the tour focus on it so much?

Camelback Mountain is one of Arizona's most visited natural landmarks and visible for almost the entire Greenbelt ride. The tour passes it repeatedly from different angles, so you see it against the lakes, golf courses and homes that surround it, rather than just from one viewpoint.

Do I have to ride on regular streets during this tour?

No. The entire route stays on the Greenbelt, a dedicated bike path rated World-Class-Gold-Level. You never ride on streets, which keeps the experience relaxed and lets you focus on the scenery instead of traffic.

Can I see wildlife like prairie dogs and bald eagles on this ride?

Prairie dogs appear regularly along the canal portions of the path. Bald eagles show up occasionally, so spotting one is not guaranteed, but the canals and surrounding landscape make wildlife sightings possible in a way street riding would not.

How far is 15–20 miles on an e-bike, and will I be tired after?

The e-bike motor handles most of the work, so distance feels shorter than it would on a regular bike. The 2-hour tour covers that range at a pace that stays manageable. The operator notes the tour is suitable for all fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.

What happens if I want to stop and eat after the tour?

Two restaurants sit on the tour route as you enter McCormick Ranch. One is a gastropub on the water with a patio. The other is known for fajitas. Both are convenient stops once the ride ends.
