MOUNTAIN BIKING
Options range from the epic mountain trails of the White Cloud Mountains to our gentler valley roads. Whether you’re looking for a challenging single-track trek over a high mountain pass or a gentle cruise alongside a creek on an old pioneer road, your ride is waiting.
Trails
From the Ranch, you can start slow and easy with the 3-mile Ranch Loop, a perfect way to get acquainted with the expansive property, mountain scenery, and altitude. The ranch sits at around 6,300 feet of elevation, so drink more water than you think you need!
Once you’ve got your mountain legs under you, it’s time to take it up a gear. You decide to pedal around from Snowshoe Hare, around the bend to Mule Deer, and then take a breather as you decide whether you should go up to the summit of Knob Hill, or you make a right onto Pronghorn. You decide to earn your incredible dinner by climbing to the summit of Knob Hill, which overlooks the Ranch and gives you a “wow” view of the Sawtooth Mountains to the West and the Whiteclouds to the East. A promise of banked downhill turns and cold beer at the Lodge beckons.
Adjacent to the Ranch, you can explore the moderate 7-mile Williams Creek Loop and give the iconic 18-mile Fisher Creek trail a whirl. Expand your biking horizons off-ranch with rides on the Nip and Tuck or 210 Forest roads, or perhaps mountain bike rides on Potato Mountain, Elk Meadows, or Big Casino Creek. E-bikes are allowed on most of these trails.
Whether you’re a pro, or you’re helping your little ones get the hang of mountain biking – we have a trail for you!
