Wilkins Peak Trail System named top mountain bike trail in Wyoming, two years running

  • Ron 

For the second year in a row, Singletracks.com, a leading website on all things mountain biking, has named Wilkins Peak Trail System in Sweetwater County the most popular trail in Wyoming. The trail system is not only one of the best in the country, it is also one of the most undiscovered in all the land. That means more solo time on the singletrack when you visit Southwest Wyoming!

Wilkins Peak Trails offers several options that can be accessed from various locations on the southeastern side of the town of Green River depending on the length of ride desired. The Wilkins Peak Trail System is extensive enough to warrant multiple days of mountain biking. Adored by locals, this trail system is very well-maintained and boasts magnificent views of the area’s unique landscape that experts and novices alike can enjoy.

Warm up your legs on the lower-elevation and easier trails along the Green River, like heading out on 10 Ring and looping back on Surfing. Then, get your heart racing on the labyrinth of singletrack trails on the peak’s western face, such as Brent and Mikes and Quick Draw. For technical biking, hit up the aptly-named 4.5-mile Pick Your Poison.

The Sweetwater Mountain Biking Association offers frequent local trail reports on its Facebook page. For bike repair, gear and local recommendations on other trails to try in the area, the Bike & Trike/Java Peddler (612 Broadway, Rock Springs) is a perfect place to gear up, as well get a cup of Joe, pre-ride. The bike shop doubles as a coffee shop and is a place where locals and visitors converge.
