Ultimate Mountain Biking Weekend

Warm up with a lap of Miller Time, a nice cruisey loop through the forest, designed to be accessed by adaptive bikes, and a crowd pleaser with families of all shapes and sizes. This trail is accessed from the Griffith Creek parking lot, the hub of Mount Macpherson. Cruise up to Flowdown via Leap Frog and Dusty Beaver. This intermediate trail is (as the name suggests) flowy and fun and the (almost) 5kms of flowy single track fun brings you to Serenity Now to complete the loop.
Hit the Big Eddy Pub for a lunch stop and then head on out to Boulder Mountain for some downhill biking in the afternoon. You’ll probably want to set up shuttling for laps of Boulder, as the trails are downhill only. Start out with an intermediate trail, like Loggin’ Leftovers, then move on up to whatever your nerves can handle.

A bike trip wouldn’t be complete without some high alpine riding. For the more adventurous rider, try the Keystone Standard Basin. This 11km (one-way) ride into the backcountry features a techy climb leading into flowy alpine trail. Not for the faint of heart, this ride requires both bike and backcountry know-how, but the rewards are incredible!
If easier alpine access is what you are after, the Frisby Ridge trail is equally beautiful, but a little less demanding. While it’s an intermediate trail, it’s still in the backcountry, so proper preparation is essential. To get there, drive to the Frisby Ridge parking lot up the Frisby Ridge FSR (good vehicle clearance is necessary), and begin the climb into the stunning alpine through the sub alpine rainforest. Be mindful of the caribou closure which is in effect until July 15 each year. You can now ride an additional 5.7km of alpine bliss on the Frisby Vistas trail, (total ride – 17.7kms (one way)).
If you’re looking for more descending on Frisby, we’ve answered Moab’s Whole Enchilada, with a meal of our own! Known around here as “The Whole Teriyaki,” take the Ultimate Frisby Connector (UFC) onto Ultimate Frisby as you reach the bottom of the Frisby Ridge trail. Disclaimer: The UFC and Ultimate Frisby are expert only trails, and they do not follow the same flow as Frisby Ridge.
