About The Venue

P & M Arena is a great facility with several arenas and a designated obstacle area.  Also near Usery Mtn. Park!

Usery Mountain Regional Park. Located just outside of P & M Arena, this park takes in 3,648 acres set at the western end of the Goldfield Mountains, adjacent to the Tonto National Forest. 

The park contains a large variety of plants and animals that call the lower Sonoran Desert home. Along the most popular feature of the park, the Wind Cave Trail, water seeps from the roof of the alcove to support hanging gardens of Rock Daisy. The Wind Cave is formed at the boundary between the volcanic tuff and granite on Pass Mountain. Breathtaking views from this 2,840-foot elevation are offered to all visitors.  You may likely see deer, javelina, birds, and coyotes on your ride through the park!

There are a 10 stalls available register early!
