Directly across from the Payson Golf Course is a small dirt road that passes two private homes, and leads through a marked gate to the Peach Tree area. You can park just beyond the gate. Bike up the main road for about half mile and turn right at the marked Peach Tree Loop trail sign. This trail is in fairly decent shape and makes for a quick, hard ride. There are loose rocks and gravel in some parts, but it is mainly packed dirt along the first segment. The first segment results in an elevation gain to bring riders to the second segment, The second segment consists of a steep and very eroded, rocky, down hill . It's may be best to take the cattle path alongside the deeply eroded main trail, as that is not always ride-able. You will end up back on the main Peach Tree road, and taking a left, will complete the circle. During winter or Monsoon season (July, August) the trail becomes deep mud and riding is not advisable.

 Ok for first mile, but quickly becomes difficult with thick mud. Recommend waiting for trail to dry further.

      Jeep road with some loose Rocky stretches. Last bit is 30% and made entirely of large loose rocks. Nice views.
