The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate and acclimate
Flagstaff sits near 7,000 ft—drink extra water before and during the ride and take it easy on uphill stretches to avoid altitude fatigue.
No drinking while riding
Alcohol is provided after the tour—do not consume alcohol on the ebike for safety and local regulations.
Wear layered clothing
Temperature swings are common; mornings can be cool and afternoons warm, so bring a lightweight layer you can stow easily.
Follow trail etiquette
Stay to the right on multi-use trails, announce passes, and let faster users go by—these are popular community trails.

Flagstaff grew as a railroad and Route 66 service town; the San Francisco Peaks are volcanic remnants and hold cultural significance for Native nations in the region.
