*Please note, there will be limited bike operations the weekend of Friday, August 23-Sunday, August 25 due to the Enduro World Series competition. In order to maintain the integrity of the competition, we are unable to release a map of these closures at this time, but plan to keep a few signature trails open to the public. We apologize for any inconvenience and the cost of a day pass will be reduced during this period. Stay tuned for more updates and come be a part of the action by watching the race on Saturday and Sunday from a designated viewing area and visiting our vendor village at Mid-Mountain. Spectators will get a sneak peek into the new trails being built and broken in by the pro riders from all over the world. Stay until Monday for your chance to explore some of the new terrain!
