Combined, these trails make up 14 miles of out and back mountain biking excellence. These trails are perfect for riders of all skill levels; they are both blue trails, giving them a moderate difficulty rating. On these pleasant trails, keep an eye out for wildlife, as deer and elk are commonly spotted, especially in the summertime.

Located right past the stables at the YMCA of the Rockies, Glacier Creek Trail is a mile-long, well-signed trail that follows Glacier Creek to the Wind River. Along the way, riders weave around rocks and trees. It’s a short and sweet ride that’s conveniently located.
