The Desert Foothills Mountain Bike Association (DFMBA) is a volunteer-powered nonprofit dedicated to building, maintaining, and protecting great mountain bike experiences across the desert foothills of Arizona. They represent the local riding community by working closely with land managers, advocating for responsible trail access, and ensuring that trails are designed and maintained to be both fun and sustainable in a challenging desert environment.
DFMBA’s work happens on the ground. From new trail construction and reroutes to regular maintenance and post-storm repairs, their team of volunteers puts in the hours to keep trails running smoothly. In a landscape shaped by erosion, heat, and heavy use, that ongoing effort is what keeps trails rideable, safe, and enjoyable year-round.
Beyond the dirt, DFMBA plays a key role in stewardship and education. They promote responsible riding, support shared-use trail etiquette, and help foster a strong, respectful relationship between riders, hikers, equestrians, and land managers. Their approach is collaborative—bringing together public agencies, local communities, and trail users to ensure long-term access and high-quality trail systems.
Whether you’re riding flowy desert singletrack or navigating rocky technical sections, chances are DFMBA has had a hand in shaping and caring for the experience.
