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. Then, sample our newest on-ranch trail, Pronghorn, with its mellow climbs and long arching downhills on a wide single track.
Next up is the intermediate Leavell trail, climbing to the summit of Knob Hill, which overlooks the Ranch and a “wow” view of the Sawtooth mountains. 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 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. We have a trail for you!
Gear
We likely have a bike for you! The Ranch provides a variety of bikes ranging from X-Large to X-Small Specialized and Orbea Mountain Bikes down to the smallest Strider Balance bikes for children. Our bikes have platform pedals, but we can change them out if you bring your personal pedal setup. A wide selection of helmets are stocked for your use. Several bike packs with pump, spare tire tube, and repair kit are available for longer rides. Let our staff help you choose a bike, supply a water bottle and provide you with a Ranch hiking and biking map along with recommendations. Let’s Ride!
Lessons
To get you started, we offer two complimentary weekly bike clinics with an on-ranch initiation ride.
