Bear
Creek Mountain Resort &
Conference Center offers over 6.5 miles of wooded mountain
biking and hiking trails circling our property. Hikers and bikers
are invited to use these trails free of charge during the spring
and summer months. We only ask you follow a few simple guidelines
and stop in at The Grille at Bear Creek for some post ride refreshment.

Guidelines:
-
Sign and submit our waiver, along with the register, at the Trail Head (located
in parking lot 4) before using the trails. This helps us keep track of who is
on the mountain and allows up to keep the trail access free.
-
If you are not a guest of our on-site hotel, please fill out the parking pass
and display it on the dashboard of your vehicle.
-
Stay on marked trails. The ski slopes are not open for hiking or riding and
they should only be crossed in designated areas.
-
Bring a buddy- please don't ride or hike alone.
-
Pack it in, pack it out. Please don't litter.
Additional Guidelines for Mountain Bikers:
-
Helmets are strongly recommended while mountain biking.
-
Ride within your ability. Our trails become increasingly difficult as elevation
increases.
-
Ride in control and be able to stop.
-
Yield to hikers and uphill riders.
-
Make sure your bike is in good working order before heading out
Our trails are all rugged singletrack and doubletracks with plenty of rocks and
a few bridges. All trails are cross-country oriented. We do not offer lift
service or "downhill" trails. The ski slopes are closed to riders and hikers.
Our mountain biking trails are appropriate for intermediate or better riders
with their own properly functioning equipment and helmet. Bear Creek does not
currently rent mountain bikes. Hikers should have proper footwear and at least
an average fitness level.
After your time on the trail visit The Trail's End Café, our mountainside restaurant
featuring a bistro-style
menu and wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic
drinks and beverages. The Trail's End Café is
open seven days a week
and is the perfect place to refuel after a day on
the trail.
For those who want to take their time exploring our extensive trail system,
spend the night at The Inn at Bear Creek, our
on-site hotel located at the base of the mountain. Featuring
118 rooms, an indoor pool,
and indoor/outdoor hot tubs, The Inn at Bear Creek will leave you refreshed and ready
for another day on the trail.
Guidelines:
Sign and submit our waiver,
along with the register, at
the Trail Head (located in
parking lot 4) before using
the trails. This helps
us keep track of who is on
the mountain and allows us
to keep the trail access
free.
