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."
