Bike Trails
EASY RIDER
Beginner | Majestic Lift
Easy Rider starts at the top of the Majestic Lift and descends gently down towards the Snake Creek Basin and finishes at the bottom of the Great Western Lift. This mellow flow trail is perfect for beginner to intermediate bikers as it winds through the aspen groves of Brighton.
MOOSE TRACKS
Intermediate | Majestic Lift
Branching off from Easy Rider, Moose Tracks dives into a rhythmic ride of tabletop jumps and perfectly sculpted berms. Intermediate riders will love the way this blue trail twists through the aspen grove, mixing speed with a touch of airtime.
WASATCH WIGGLE
Beginner | Crest 6 Lift
This beginner-friendly trail drops in off the top of Crest and makes its way down the north face with a playful series of switchbacks and mellow berms. True to its name, Wasatch Wiggle keeps things smooth and twisty, offering a flowy, scenic ride perfect for those looking to build confidence while cruising through high-alpine terrain.
SNAKE PIT
Intermediate | Crest 6 Lift
This intermediate tech/flow trail winds through the Snake Creek drainage at Brighton, weaving between towering trees and flowing with a mix of playful berms and natural granite rock rolls. Riders get a smooth rhythm of turns and features as the trail snakes through the forest, offering just the right balance of flow and technical challenge.
