TO DO

MOUNTAIN BIKING & CYCLING

Ride into adventure where history and adventure meet. Idaho Springs is home to some of Colorado’s most exciting trails, from the soon to be lift-access lines of Virginia Canyon Mountain Park to rugged backroads and scenic routes that climb toward the Continental Divide. Whether you’re chasing technical descents, flowy singletrack, or a casual cruise with big views, biking here connects you to a landscape shaped by both miners and modern trail builders. Just 30 miles from Denver, it’s a mountain basecamp you’ll want to return to in every season.
