Uptown Downtown - Full Loop

Overview

Start your ride at the trailhead across the street from The Village. The bottom half of the trail, up to the Earthquake Fault Junction, is public/free to ride. If you go past there during bike park hours, be prepared to show your ticket/pass. If you ride before/after park hours or when the park is closed for the season, it's all good. Continue on Uptown Trail all the way to Main Lodge of the Ski Resort / Bike Park. Then you turn around on Downtown Trail and make your way back to the trailhead at The Village. <br><br>Uptown Trail can be a grunt in some sections, but overall it's a manageable grade that twists and slithers its way through a pine forest and eventually across a couple ski runs on it's way to Main Lodge. By the time you get to the top, you've climbed 900' in just over 4 miles. Downtown Trail was widened slightly a couple of years ago to make it more family-friendly. Although it's been "sanitized" a bit, and can often have lots of brake bumps around the twisty turns, it's still a fun trail and worthwhile for all-comers.
