First bike cabs in North America

Purpose-built cabins carry eight bikes at a time. You roll the bike in whole — nothing comes off, no wheel comes out.

A shuttle day is a couple of runs and a lot of sitting in a van. A cable car day is as many laps as your legs are good for.

The Trails

Six miles of purpose-cut singletrack drop from the summit at 8,800 feet back toward town, through pine and aspen and out onto the open shoulders where the whole canyon is in view.

Rosa Gulch and Morning Star are the flowing ones — bermed, rolling, forgiving of a rider still finding their feet. Ten Day Jacks and Prospector\u2019s Push are steeper and rockier, with the loose decomposed granite this hillside is made of.

Everything is signed at the junctions, and the trail crew keeps working; the network grows every season.

The Fine Print

Owned by Idaho Springs

The park is the City’s, not ours. We sell the ride up; the trail rules are posted at the trailheads and they’re the city’s.

Built for advanced riders

Steep, technical, and not the place to learn. Beginner-friendly trails are currently in the works!

Bring your own

Your bike, your helmet, your judgement. No rentals and no shuttle recovery on site.

Old workings everywhere

Historic shafts and adits all over this hillside. Stay on marked trail. Never enter an opening.
