Jackson Hole Mountain Bike Tours, Bike Rentals And Trails

A fun ride for beginners would follow the west side of each loop, then return to the start on the Copper Ridge road. The Klondike Bluffs Trail represents a step up in terms of exertion and skills required, but is still enjoyable for fit novice giant mountainrs. The route follows a jeep trail across Moab Member slickrock imprinted with fossilized dinosaur tracks. The jeep trail terminates at the boundary of Arches National Park, where a short hike leads to the top of the bluffs and an impressive viewpoint. The Klondike Bluffs Road from Hwy-191 is bumpy but maintained for passenger cars to the trailhead and it’s worth driving to the trailhead and skipping the ride on the dirt road.

The Rendezvous and Roundhouse Lodges on mountain will operate with grab and go options, and espresso beverages will return to our coffee bars. More dining options are expected to come online through the summer. Please note, it is important to continue wearing your face covering whenever you are not at your table. Maximize your mountain time and save when you book in advance. Skip the ticket line, go direct to slope and spend more time on the mountain. Since 1957, Conte’s has been a privately owned and operated bicycle shop dedicated to providing personal service and top quality cycling products.

Please protect the native soil and plants. Rockin’A trailhead is across from Bar B and connects to Circle O. Starts from the east leg of North 40; ends on the east leg of North 40. Mostly red dirt surface with banked turns. All on smooth sandstone that slaloms down the wash. Best views of the area from the high line above Big Joe Bend.

Ride straight ahead to the “Y” junction. The Kane Creek Canyon 4-wheel drive trail goes left. The road follows one of those improbable routes found only in Canyon Country as it snakes its way up a series of narrow Moenkopi Formation ledges. On the way to the pass, you will be rewarded with spectacular red rock country views. Intermediate; physically challenging going up; fast going down.

They typically have 120–140 mm (5″) of travel, weigh 11 to 15 kilograms , with geometry situated somewhere between cross country and All-Mountain designs. Having a slacker head angle (65-67°) provides greater stability while descending. With less of an emphasis on weight, typically they are designed to handle rougher terrain.

Average time to bike this trail is 1.5 – 2 hours. Intermediate ride along the toe of Big Mesa, then cross-country travel over sandstone and down a side slope to Big Lonely. The beginning and ending stretches slightly steeper, so about equal in difficulty going either direction.

Don’t worry metal fans, the Stumpjumper Comp Alloy is still alive and well, and with one of the most advanced alloy frames ever developed. With its asymmetrical design, all-new geometry, refined kinematics, and a build kit that strikes the optimal combination of performance and value, it’s ready to hit the dirt. THE TRAIL BENCHMARK When we set out to design the all-new Stumpjumper, we pursued some hefty goals. Turns out, you can have your cake and eat it too with the new Stumpjumper. PROGRESSIVE GEOMETRY The S-Sizing geometry of the new Stumpjumper hits the progressive sweet spot. Long, low, slack, a short offset fork, a steeper seat tube angle—they’re all the talk of the town because they make your ride better.

Slacker angles are preferred for high speeds and downhill stability. There are several different styles of mountain biking, usually defined by the terrain, and therefore the giant ROAD BIKES type of bicycles employed. In the earliest days, all were somewhat custom, home-built machines, and were used for any number of stunts, tricks, racing or other activities.

It goes through a saddle that is about ft of climb in either direction. This trail wanders along the dirt and slickrock between EKG and the Copper Ridge Road. It was designed for lower intermediate riders, but beginners and experts will also enjoy this mellow ride. The elevation difference between the highest and lowest point is only about 140 feet, but either direction will require climbing a total of about 500 feet; sort of like a kiddie roller-coaster. The “UFO” has landed in the valley between the passes.
