Trail Options

Biking on an aspen trail

Aspen Ridge 

Granite domes rise out of the forest along the majestic Aspen Ridge. This expansive road system through remote pieces of the Arkansas Hills provides a variety of biking options. Mellower sections are great for families, but an extended tour will take some endurance.

Spaghetti Western Area

The new hotspot for biking in the Ark Valley. This area offers an incredible network of trails through pinon forest. Especially unique to the area are the granite slab formations that create fun moves and challenging obstacles. We can combine a number of trail sections to provide beginner, intermediate, or advanced options.

Little Rainbow Trail

What once was just a single beginner trail has now evolved into a network of trails that offer a variety of rides. Our favorite part is the new flow sections that can all be linked up for a rad day of rollers and banked turns. Note that this area is pretty exposed to sunshine, so it can get pretty hot on summer days.

Cottonwood Tour

This may be our favorite ride in the area! A shuttle ride covers most of the ascent, but there is still a short climb up Beesway and over to Rumba Ridge. From here it’s all downhill through flowy banked turns that link up to more technical maneuvering through the waterfall area. Lots of fast and fun riding through Cottonwood Gulch and eventually back into the Arkansas Hills Trail System where you can choose from a number of descents, like Sand Dunes or Chicken Dinner.
