Popular Great Falls Mountain Biking Trails
• 100 ★ 4.0 • 2 miles • 143 ft • 164 •
The very beginning of the system. The trail is mostly a descent into Whitmore Ravine with multiple options along the way. Taking the fork to the left is the most technical, while taking the fork to the right twice will be the most...
• 75 ★ 3.5 • 2,753 ft • 77 ft • 109 •
Smooth trail, and the easiest option at the top of Red Rock Hill (it does have more climbing though). On a calm day, the fun and flowy turns, make this one more fun going west. Just watch your speed as you come to rocks at the top of...
• 90 ★ 4.5 • 3,219 ft • 104 ft • 97 •
The is a technical pump track-type trail along the banks of the Missouri River. There are some extreme sections of exposure. Ride at your own risk! The trail flows better from west to east, but is rideable both directions.
• 55 ★ 4.8 • 2 miles • 520 ft • 88 •

• 100 ★ 5.0 • 2,927 ft • 82 ft • 75 •
This is the original “advanced” section of the trail prior to being built. It rides well in both directions, and serves as a great return trail instead of riding up or a more advanced option than the if you don’t want to commit to...
