Think laughs, scenic stops, and discovering that bikepacking isn’t scary—it’s downright addictive.
BikeBikeOvernight Season Ender
Little Elbow Parking Lot to Big Elbow Backcountry Campground
Beginner level bikeovernight. The trail is 99% doubletrack and gravel road with very moderate elevation gain, making it ideal as your first bikepacking trip. The views up in the valley are spectacular and with no cell service it really does feel like your way out there. Mostly uphill in, mostly downhill back to the lot.
TRIP CHALLENGE - Leave the bagged meals at home this time and plan to prepare fresh food instead! I think I’m going to make fire roasted falafel again :)
Here are the details -
Spots are limited. Buy your tent spot here
Park at the Little Elbow parking lot at theend of Hwy.66. It would be a good idea to carpool if possible as parking out there on a weekend can be challenging. We’re planning on arriving early just to circle the lot looking for a spot.
We will depart at 4pm sharp!
This is not a guided adventure. Bring everything you need for your own comfort and safety. While we are riding together - this is a self-supported adventure - and you are responsible for your own safety.
No minors.
