      Popular Mackenzie Mountain Biking Trails

      100 4.5 4,793 ft 473 ft 3,112
      The best climbing trail you will ever ride. Drains well so easy to ride in the wet or after rain without causing trail damage. Reworked this past fall (2017) to make it easier for all to ride, much smoother now.
      95 4.1 3 miles 1,048 ft 3,041
      Great, challenging, but fair climb with lots of switchbacks. This is an amazing hand built climbing trail that needs to be ridden if you are riding in Pemberton. So much better than ridding an FSR
      90 4.3 1 mile 60 ft 2,612
      A Pemberton classic and must-ride. It is a relatively steep descent with a couple uphill punches. There are rocky bits and loose steep chutes with a go-around detour. All-mountain bikes are plenty capable for this trail. Also the views...
      100 4.0 4,012 ft 226 ft 2,506
      Long upper portion of WACo after the switch back. An older double track that rides more like a single track now. Easier and less direct than climb to get to after riding
      100 3.9 1,703 ft 85 ft 2,404
      Mellow climb from the top of to the gaining access to the trails
      75 4.1 2 miles 31 ft 2,197
      Trail was built in memory of Pemberton resident Rudy Rozsypalek, a Glider Pilot killed in a mid air collision. It is a true blue trail off the climb, just past a view point which traverses the slope and ends on the above .
      80 4.2 3 miles 1,295 ft 2,058
      A well built, bench cut, single track climbing trail that accesses , Gravatron, Gravatrout, and Extra Tron to and Skelula7.
      95 4.6 2,028 ft 3 ft 1,864
      A black fun, flow trail with lots of berms. Significant reworking of the trail was done in the last few years. Stay left for some nice blue ride around options.
