Jackson Hole Mountain Bike Trails

The Rusty Parrot Lodge and Spa is located on the Eastern Slope of the Grand Teton Mountain Range, and offers close proximity to a wide range of mountain biking trails. Whether you’re a beginner looking for an afternoon of relaxed riding, or an advanced biker whose idea of heaven is a challenging singletrack, our location affords you the opportunity to plan, map, and ride a trail that’s right for you.

A couple of the more moderate trails in the area include the “Hagen to Putt-Putt Trail”, the “Cache Creek to Game Creek Trail”, and the “Ferrins Trail”. The trails in this difficulty class are often a mix of forest road and track, and contain some difficult terrain.

“Phillips Canyon Trail” and “Black Canyon Trail” are good examples of some more challenging pedaling for those bikers enamored with steep switchbacks, root drops, creek crossings, and rocks on the downhill. Some of these rides require significant hill climbing and technical ability. For those trails that cross multiple streams, be sure to check if the creeks are crossable before you head out. And as always when taking a trip in the mountains, bring plenty of water and raingear.

The Teton Mountains are the setting for some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, and there is no better way to see them than riding quietly through the meadows and woodlands. Next time you travel to Jackson, reserve an afternoon to enjoy the day. Conditions are best from April to October depending upon snowmelt conditions.

Let our concierge staff make your arrangements.
