SaveHinton is a town of approximately 10,000 people just East of the Jasper National Park boundary or 3 hours West of Edmonton. Town trails are overseen by the Hinton Mountain Bike Association featuring the Hinton Bike Park and the Happy Creek Trail systems. Focus seems to be on maintaining existing trails rather than creation of new trails, though the Jack's System (Thompson Lake) was recently unsanctioned by HMBA.
Many other trails exist outside of the HMBA realm but they are unsanctioned unless specified (such as Alberta Parks and PLUZ areas). Old school rider's remember Hinton as a freeride paradise, being outside of the National Parks where TTF's and gnarly downhills could be built. Many of these original trails such as Animal Crackers are either destroyed or decommissioned with few people attempting to rebuild them.
The Hinton Nordic Centre area has a few incredibly built trails that have been used in Provincial races and these too are unsanctioned. Everything in Hinton is ride at your own risk, this includes navigation. When in doubt use Trailforks.com and pick up a trail map at the Vicious Cycle, Hinton Government Centre or Hinton Info Centre. Visit www.bikehinton.com or visit the Facebook page. Feel free to drop a line and ask for a ride guide.
