We’ve spent the last few years scouting out our favorite mountain bike trails all over the western United States.
As we continue to find new mountain bike trail gems we will add them to this article, so check back often.
Ashland Oregon – Trailforks
It’s pretty much all really fun! You can get SUPER steep and find really BIG jumps (if you want). Some is on Trailforks, and other stuff you have to find :-).
Hit the Ashland Mountain Adventures shuttle if you’re there in the warmer months, and stop by The Handlebar for all your MTB needs.
Camping
Good Karma Van Camp – Cozy van spots right down the road from the bike shuttle!
Free Camping – There are a couple van camping spots near Four Corners and in the surrounding Ashland area. Checkout iOverlander for locations.
Jackson Wellsprings – Hots springs with parking lot style van and tent camping.
Mule Ridge and Swasey (Redding CA) – Trailforks
Enticer – Black/Double Black Gap Jumps – LEGIT jump trail!
Ono – Double Black Tech – Fun, steep, hard, loose tech trail! There was ever a section we walked.
Camping
Horse Camp – $20 and you can ride into the trails from camp. It’s not a short ride and you might prefer to drive, but it’s a fun ride if you’re into it. Here’s the 20 mile loop we did.
Bass Lake California – Trailforks
007 Trail(s) – The bottom trails are the most fun, but they are all worth a ride if you have time.
Mary Jane + Willow Creek Loop – This is an incredibly fun loop! The top feels like you’re riding in Yosemite, then you drop into some fun, kinda steep, kinda techy stuff.
Camping
Free Camping – We found a few nice spots by driving around near the 007 trails.
Wishon Bass Lake – Nice campsites within walking distance of Bass Lake. You can also ride some easier trails from this campground.
