We didn't kill ourselves getting to the top, and I plenty left in the tank for our wicked fun decent. We opted for taking Six Shooter Canyon Trail down, and from what I'm hearing, its probably the tamest trail off the top. A little exposure, and few techy switch backs, left us with miles and miles and miles of swoopy forest single track. Actually this trail has three distinct trail composition. Loads of forest at the top, followed by loads of gravel and rocks in the middle, and classic desert cinder at the bottom. I was just amazed at how fun this trail is.
I believe this is probably the longest big mountain descents in Arizona. With about 4,500 vf descent from the top of the mountain to the bottom you are left with two windows for riding this trail(spring or fall). You've got to hit it between snow and heat.
Here's a short vid of the Day:

Hey, this looks like it was a fun day. I've got a buddy who wants to head down to the Globe area to visit some family and wanted to do some riding. He's new to the sport, any trails in the area you could recommend?
Thanks Jace,
I know they did MBAA cross country race in Globe last year, but I am familiar with the course. I would consider that course a pretty good place to start.
The trails up above on Pinal have there moments, pretty steep, a little loose, way-way off camber, and probably have some snow on them at the moment.
