Bear Trap & Trout Creek Routes Ride 38 miles of jaw-dropping scenery through the Big Belt Mountains—or double it to 76 if you’re feeling bold. Expect breathtaking canyons, three creek crossings, and a mix of gravel roads, pavement, and singletrack. Whether you cruise and soak it all in or push the pace, this ride delivers.

Choose the York 38 Special or the Spirit of ’76 and climb 3,000 vertical feet from the lowest point in Nelson, mostly on dirt roads and singletrack. Along the way, you’ll find six fully stocked aid stations featuring our famous homemade goodies and porta-potties to keep you fueled and smiling.

Lucky 13 Family Ride Perfect for families and riders of all levels, the Lucky 13 is a scenic 13-mile out-and-back.

An aid station and porta-potty are available on this route as well.
