Biking
“Known for flowy, loamy buff singletrack complemented with more rowdy, advanced terrain in the sub-alpine and alpine, riders can turn it up for weeks on end without ever repeating the same ride. In a place where every ride takes you somewhere magical, it’s as though you’ve arrived in mountain bike nirvana. There is lift-accessed mountain biking on Bald Mountain with 3,400 feet of vertical drop to the valley floor, the European-style ski mountain lends itself quite well to a hair-on-fire big mountain experience on two wheels.” For more information on Mountain Biking in the area, visit this page.
Bike rentals are available at Pete Lane’s Mountain Sports at the Sun Valley Resort.
- For leisurely biking trails winding up and around the White Clouds 9-hole golf course, we suggest biking the White Clouds trail network located across the street from the Sun Valley Resort. For a detailed map, click here.
