Bike Park Trail Details

Types of Trail Difficulty 

Our high-speed lift access and designated uphill routes service three green trails for beginners, six blue trails for intermediate riders, four black trails for advanced mountain bikers, two double black trails for experts, and one extremely dangerous trail for the pros. 

Trail Features

The gravity-fed trails offer a variety of singletrack that require minimal pedaling. From beginner features like Fun Run and Peach Fuzz to more extreme runs like Dirt Sample and Skid Mark, the park features a diverse mix of natural and man-made features – including step-ups, berms, and bridges – that will challenge riders of all levels.

Cross-Country Trails

For bikers who appreciate the path less traveled, our cross-country mountain bike trails offer a direct line to the heart of our lush, beautiful resort property. Whether you take it slow and absorb your surroundings or speed things up for a satisfying workout in a spectacular setting, our trail network offers just what you're looking for.

"I've ridden a lot of bike parks over the years, including Whistler in B.C., and The Highlands ranks as one of my top parks. You have really done a great job and I think you have something special. I talked with countless people today who drove over 3.5 hours to visit the park, another sign you are doing amazing things. I hope you continue to expand your trail system as I think this can be a true mountain bike destination in the country. I couldn't be happier to be a season pass holder. I'm looking forward to many more amazing rides at The Highlands."
