FAQs & Planning Tips
🚗 Getting there: Kingman located at the junction of Historic Route 66 and highways 93 and 40. You’ll most likely be driving through if you’re headed east from LA or Las Vegas toward Phoenix, Sedona, Tucson, or the Grand Canyon.
🅿️ Parking: Each of the three trail systems has it’s own parking area:
🗺️ Navigating the trails: If I remember correctly, the trails were signed, but no trail maps. I recommend having TrailForks downloaded to your phone.
💧 Water: There is no water at the trailheads or on the trails. Bring all that you need with you and your pack essentials.
📅 How many days: When I first visited, I would have said you really only need just one day to explore the trails. But there’s been a lot of trail work and development and my friend Carey ended up spending three days there and did three ‘distinct’ and fun rides.
☀️ When to go: Winter (November through March) is ideal for mountain biking in Kingman.
🚲 What type of bike to bring: A short or mid-travel full-suspension bike would be best.
⚡️ E-bikes: I’m not sure, but I’m guessing yes.
🏕️ Camping: You used to be able to camp right at the Monolith Garden Trailhead, but unfortunately, I think they put a stop to that. There are several RV Parks around Kingman, but you’ll need to head a bit farther out of town to find free camping. There is free dispersed camping near Chloride Ghost town or a paid campground up at Hualapai Mountain Park.
