We pride ourselves in having some of the best information
on mountain biking trails on the web. We are not www.mtbguru.com,
www.trails.com or www.everytrail.com. We don't claim or want to have
all the trails. We prefer tight single track to double tracks or roads,
but we often find great trails that include stretches on double track,
jeep roads, gravel roads and even some paved roads. We also prefer
cross country or x-country and downhill mt bike trails to family rides
through city parks. You can find trail maps with elevation profiles,
trail reviews, descriptions and ratings. GPS data is used to draw the
maps and pdfs. I even attach the .gpx track files of the rides we do.
These gpx files have been cleaned up and simplified using Delorme and
TopoFusion software so they have 500 or less points that allows them to
be exported to your Garmin hand-held gps units quickly & easily. We consider ourselves advanced
intermediate riders, but not all the trails we ride are above the
intermediate and novice or beginner level. Take a look at the trail
statistics or stats and judge for yourself. We include the mileage,
maximum and minimum elevations, elevation ascending and descending and
average grade along with a short review to give you a good idea of the
trail. Part of the overall trip experience is where the trail is
located. The regional city as well as the closest city or town can help
you locate the trail, but we don't stop there. Each trail has a Google
Map tied with driving directions to the trailhead we rode from. Since
many of the trails we enjoy are in remote public lands like our
beautiful national forest, bureau of land management (BLM) and national
monuments, we use latitude and longitude to get you there. If there is
camping or other special features in the area, we'll let you know. Make
sure you respect both our public lands and the private lands in the
area. If we missed something, please feel free to help others out and
let us know at eric@ewmeyer.com.
