Cycling Path in Paradise Valley, AZ

Looking to take a quite county bike ride along lush green pastures with picket fences, sparsely located homes, great scenery and low traffic count?  Look no further then Paradise Valley.  

Indeed, some of the bike routes in Paradise Valley are like other parts of country and un-desert like.
Desert Fairways Dr. and Mummy Mountain Rd. surrounding the Paradise Valley Country Club are 2 of many streets that will make you pause when cycling them. 

When, first, I rode there years ago I was in awe.  On one side is a hill with only one home on it and a wild lush desert.  On the other side is a wooden picket fence with lush green grass and green deciduous trees.  In the distance is a mountain scape all with loosely placed homes almost as if they were farms.  But, it's all in the center of the big Phoenix metro area.
