    17.1 Arizona Photobook Give Back Freehub X Hawes Trail Alliance

    Words and Photos by Freehub Mountain Bike Magazine

    To celebrate the release of our new Arizona Photo Book and give back to the stewards who maintain some of the Grand Canyon State’s best trails, Freehub is partnering with Pivot Cycles and Küat Racks to host a virtual fundraiser benefiting the Hawes Trail Alliance.

    Based in Mesa, Arizona, Hawes Trail Alliance is a nonprofit organization committed to maintaining and developing one of Arizona’s most beloved trail systems.

    ​Trailforks data shows that use of the Hawes Trail System has more than tripled since HTA began, making it one of the most heavily used trail networks in the region. Riders, hikers, and visitors from near and far now see Hawes as a must-visit outdoor destination.

    HTA submitted its Master Development Plan 2.0, which outlines approximately 20 miles of thoughtfully designed, sustainably built new trails. Cultural surveys for these future trail alignments are planned for early 2026, and additional funding requests are underway to support trail construction, signage, and expanded access. Your support will help bring this plan to life!​

    Each entry equals a chance to win a new Pivot Trailcat SL and Küat NV 2.0 bike rack. Get your entries today and help support HTA’s continued trail development efforts in Arizona!
