TRAILS FOR ALL LEVELS.
Revelstoke's quite the destination for mountain biking, if you didn't already know. There's plenty to take on that will give a heady taste of endorphins while nudging at those comfort boundaries. And we don't just have the technical and difficult stuff for the adrenaline junkies. Those who enjoy the chance to convene with nature with the fast-paced thrill of a bike also have options to satisfy.
Where Trails Come From.
Thanks to the Revelstoke Cycling Association (RCA) plus our community of avid cyclists and volunteers, Revelstoke enjoys a spectacular and vast trail system, making it a summer destination for bike lovers.
Trails don't build themselves! Donate $5 to the RCA or buy a membership when riding the Revy trails! The cost of a coffee in form of a donation could make a huge difference if everyone donated.
Beginner.
Head off the paved trail at the Illecilewaet Greenbelt near downtown Revelstoke and explore the numerous trails by the Columbia River. Bring along your phone and check out the apps TrailForks or AllTrails for more info.
Another beginner trail close by is the 2km loop trail at Mount Revelstoke.
At Mount Macpherson, check out Miller Time, an adaptive mountain biking trail, perfect for learning and warming up!
Beginner-Intermediate.
Arguably, one of Revelstoke's best trail loops at Mount Macpherson, starting at Griffith FSR is Leap Frog to Toad School, and Beaver Tail to Eager Beaver. While this loop is rated as easy (green trail), Revelstoke easy is more like a low intermediate skill level.
Another option is the Stimulus loop which starts at the Nordic Lodge at Mount Macpherson.

Intermediate.
Intermediate riders will love TNT and Flowdown located at Mount Macpherson. They are tech-flow down trails that will have your heart pumping and happy as can be.
For a true downhill trail, head over to Boulder Mountain and climb up Sysiphus, the new blue climb trail. Head down Loggin' Leftovers, a classic Revelstoke trail with big berms and epic views.

Intermediate-Advanced.
Frisby Ridge is an iconic alpine epic - long, sometimes punchy, but so rewarding! The trailhead starts up Frisby FSR (bring a radio as this is an active logging road) so you get to surpass a bit of elevation. You will begin riding through the forest but the views of Mount Revelstoke National Park and the surrounding mountain ranges are well worth the trek. If you're keen, bike all the way to the lake for a chilly dip, or continue along the Frisby Vistas trail to extend your ride.

Advanced.
A ton of downhill biking is available at Boulder Mountain. Check out the classic Boondocker DH trail once you've warmed up (we recommend Loggin' Leftovers). If shuttling, you are legally required to carry a radio and use it as this is an active forest service road.
For an alpine epic, check out Keystone Standard Basin, which is technically more demanding than Frisby Ridge. The start is higher, and while the first kilometre from the trailhead is brutal, with loose rock, roots, and steep ascents, it's a rewarding ride. Once you get past that first kilometre, get past the tree line, the views are stunning and you're on a wide open ridge.
