Pinal Mountain Shuttle

The Best Way To Send Pinal Mountain Trails Aboard TopoJoes Shuttles!

About

Shuttle seats are regularly $35 per person / per run. Feel free to book in advance!

The Pinal Mountain Range is a beautiful and remote section of the Tonto National Forest. Highest points reach near 8,000 feet in the pines and descend quickly to the high desert of 4,000 feet. The mountain is home to many animals that deserve attention and respect. Black Bear, Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer, Bobcats and Rattlesnakes are just a few species that call the mountain home. Vegetation can be soft and kind or sharp and pointed. It is common to find cactus along trail edges...they don't like tires! Mountain weather is typically 15 to 30 degrees cooler than in Globe with greater chances for precipitation and higher winds. Although hours of dedicated volunteer trail maintenance occur, downed trees and brush can exist, and caution should be taken when navigating around and over trail obstacles. Appropriate clothing and gear should be worn / taken for current and potential future weather conditions. Never ride alone and always let a friend or family member know where you plan to go. Cell service does exist on the mountain, although spotty in deep drainages and at parts of the day. Be familiar with the trail sections you plan to enjoy. Know distances, elevation gain / drop along with most current trail conditions and the weather. Utilize popular trail apps such as Trailforks for additional information. We run rain or shine, but not in the snow or with icy conditions.
Our season is at least April 1 to Dec 30 each year depending on snow / ice.

• The 3 main trails we currently shuttle are Sixshooter (197) 6.5 miles plus the 6 mile cycle back to the shop on mostly downhill / flat pavement, Ice House Canyon (198) 4 miles plus the 6 mile cycle back to the shop on mostly downhill / flat pavement, and Kellner Canyon (242) 5 miles plus the 6 mile cycle back to the shop on mostly downhill / flat pavement. NEW You can easily add in 1.5 - 3.0 miles to the Kellner drop using the NEW Pinal Vista Loop. The rate is the same for all three as trailheads are approx 1 mile apart. Speak with driver for trailhead of choice.

Continuous shuttles are available if the van is rented to a single group for at least two sessions. You'll need to speak with a rep at the shop to make that happen. Current pricing is $250 per run. (Prices subject to change).

• We also offer the '157 Shuttle' that takes 15 min to access a 6 mile dirt two track descend to downtown. A good route for beginner / intermediate users. Visit the shop with any questions.
