My friend Matthew K. And I did the trail design for this new system in Kingman a year and a half ago. Construction should start this fall. The terrain is very cool imho. It has lots of funky boulders surrounding the trails, rolling slick rock with some very steep rollers and one trail is directional and has a large steep slab and armored section that may be rated double black. It’s not a ton of mileage but the terrain is naturally slower and more technical kind of trail and the loops are designed to do multiple hot laps on more technical sections, downhill bits and in multiple directions.
New trail system coming soon in Kingman

Sweet! I would love to see some trail get built up at Hualapai Mountain Park. I've done lots of moto trials events up there over the last decade and there is so much potential for big granite slab lines. Sounds like they are open to it as well.

That's the word on the street. An epic shuttle ride would really make Kingman a worthy destination.
I hear a lot of the Monolith Gardens trails could use some rerouting. The stuff that's good though is apparently very good or so I've been told. The local riding group does some very solid trail work.

Kingman is on my target list for this fall/winter. My inlaws have a house there so I can go up and ride all day, and not have to drive home the same day.

Sweet! Let me know how it goes after your visit. These trails should be done by late November/December I imagine.

This system will be a great one for a quick-y leg stretcher.

I haven't ridden the trails on the south side of hwy93 except for one enduro stage during an MBAA race but Rattler, Castle Rock, and Sidewinder on the north side are pretty sweet.

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't ridden MG in a few few years now, since we sold our pad in LHC. I used to keep MG in the rotation whenever we were staying out there on the River. I miss it and the stuff across the hwy.
