Flagstaff E-Bike Experience: Bike Then Beer Guided E‑Bike Tour
Explore Flagstaff’s urban trails and Route 66 on a guided e-bike tour that finishes with local beer or cider. This 2½-hour ride balances easy pedaling with high-elevation scenery and cultural context.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate for altitude
Flagstaff sits near 7,000 ft—drink extra water before and during the ride to offset thinner air.
Wear layered sun protection
Mountain sun and wind can change quickly; lightweight layers and sunscreen keep you comfortable.
Expect mixed surfaces
The Urban Trail System includes paved and compacted dirt; choose shoes with grip and be ready to dismount briefly.
No drinking while riding
Alcohol is served only after the tour—plan to celebrate at the endpoint, not on the trail.
