Mountain biking in Winter Park

This ski resort 90 minutes west of Denver is Colorado's best destination for downhillers, because the designers who built Whistler's renowned bike park recreated their magic here. Trestle Bike Park has 42 miles of lift-served trails suitable for all abilities, with smooth options for beginners and huge jumps for pros. Many have bailout routes offering easy alternatives for bikers whose courage fails. But the hardest trails require total commitment from expert riders, who roll along narrow wooden planks suspended high above the ground and soar off tall jumps. Rentals and instruction are available.
