Fat Tire Biking on Round Valley Trails
AdventureModerateWinterYear-round
Tackle the high-desert terrain on high-floatation tires; this area is the first to dry in spring and the most accessible for winter riding.
Itinerary tips
- 1Rent a high-quality fat bike with at least 4-inch tires from local shops like White Pine Touring or Jans for optimal flotation on groomed snow.
- 2Allocate 2 to 3 hours to explore the expansive 700-acre trail system, as the rolling terrain allows for significant distance coverage.
- 3Park at the Quinn’s Junction trailhead to access the most consistent grooming and the widest variety of beginner-friendly loops.
- 4Pack a light windbreaker and moisture-wicking layers, as you will generate significant body heat despite the cold ambient temperatures.
- 5Download the Trailforks app to navigate the dense network of intersections, focusing on the 'valleys' for flat runs or 'ridges' for steep climbs.
- 6Check the Mountain Trails Foundation daily grooming report online to ensure you are riding on firm, packed surfaces rather than soft slush.
