Popular Mackenzie Mountain Biking Trails
• 100 ★ 4.5 • 4,793 ft • 473 ft • 3,145 •
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 • 3,083 •
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 • 2,646 •
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 • 2,523 •
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 Shama climb to get to NIMBY after riding Happy
• 100 ★ 3.9 • 1,703 ft • 85 ft • 2,423 •
Mellow climb from the top of Happy to the Waco connector gaining access to the Mackenzie FSR trails
• 80 ★ 4.1 • 2 miles • 31 ft • 2,221 •
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 Middle Earth climb, just past a view point which traverses the slope and ends on the...
• 80 ★ 4.2 • 3 miles • 1,295 ft • 2,083 •
A well built, bench cut, single track climbing trail that accesses Rudy's, Gravatron, Gravatrout, and Extra Tron to Jack the Ripper and Skelula7.
• 85 ★ 4.5 • 4,249 ft • 0 ft • 1,892 •
Great fun. Several slabs and different options up top, while the lower portion has been reworked with berms, jumps and optional drops. A step up in difficulty from Overnight Sensation, but well worth it. Check it out
