Biking

Take a ride on the Rio Grande trail. The Rio Grande trail offers 42 miles of continuous trail and is completely secluded from traffic except for a few intersections. Whether you are a serious cyclist who wants to train in the high country altitude or a casual cruiser looking to take in the sights by way of cycling, the Roaring Fork Valley has it all.  Snowmass offers up some of the most adrenaline charged downhill and single-track trails that range in difficulty from mellow mountain fire-roads to ladder riding, drops and berms that test every bit of your skill and nerves.

For the beginner and intermediate rider, enjoy an easy scenic downhill cruise such as the widely popular Maroon Bells Downhill and Ashcroft Ghost Town Downhill tours.  The views are spectacular, and the ride is unforgettable!

Similarly, the Snowmass Divide Ride will take the intermediate rider through forestlands and meadows, with views of 14,000 ft. peaks. For the more experienced OFF ROAD & SINGLE TRACK riders, the new FAT TRACKS division steps up the pace with guided trips on the popular Lincoln Creek Trail near Independence Pass as well as Single Track Trails, such as the Rim, Tom Blake and Government Trails. Discover the thrill of seeing some of the world’s most beautiful scenery with experienced bike guides who will help you hone your skills.
