      This region is characterized mostly by very rough moto trails, although a few slightly easier (blue) trails might appeal to intermediate riders. The red/double black trails don't necessarily have must make moves or blind drops, but they do involve lots of very steep terrain, and tough hike-a-biking. If you don't like seeing other mountain bikers, or many people in general, then this is the place for you.

      Popular Mcleod Mountain Biking Trails

      • 100 ★ 4.0 • 5 miles • 51 ft • 10 •
      This is a pretty rowdy descent! Tons of loose rock, and several surprising rutty moto chutes. It probably wouldn’t be a great climb, instead consider a big loop with Picket Pin Rd and Blacktail (partial shuttle would cut down miles).
      • 95 ★ 4.7 • 4 miles • 158 ft • 9 •
      Located in the East Boulder drainage near Big Timber, MT. This is an amazing moto trail that is a really great steep descent for bikes. It's mostly hike a bike on the way up. If you choose you can ride/hike to the top of the peak which...
      • 60 ★ 2.0 • 2 miles • 1,248 ft • 7 •
      Starts out as smooth steep doubletrack and turns to singletrack at the lake. It's 99% hike-a-bike up rutted rocky singletrack to the top from the lake.
      • 100 ★ 4.0 • 6 miles • 4,283 ft • 5 •
      Extremely steep moto trail (loose and rocky the entire way), this is Type 2 fun at best. At least 60% hike a bike. The really steep stuff starts a little over halfway up. As the trail levels out on the plateau you will continue to...
      • 60 ★ 5.0 • 1 mile • 0 ft • 4 •
      This trail is savage. If you like pushing your bike up to ride down very steep, loose, and technical terrain, this trail is for you. A very awesome trail. Not just steep and crappy. A big counterclockwise loop starting from the...
      • 85 ★ 0.0 • 1,138 ft • 2 ft • 4 •
      A short stroll through open forest. Riding up Picket Pin, look for a faint road bed, bear right on this and then saunter through the trees to connect with Placer Basin Trail.
      • 90 ★ 4.0 • 4 miles • 1,139 ft • 4 •
      Beautiful trail. Starts out undulating through a dark forest with nice smooth dirt and pine needles, proceeds to hammer up and down through several fun rocky and rooty sections, and finally some loose dry steep trail approaching the...
      • 5 ★ 1.0 • 3 miles • 1,111 ft • 2 • • moto
      Extremely technical moto trail not recommended for bikes. Tons of gnarly hike-a-bike, and descending would suck because there are innumerable punchy steep hike-a-bikes in that direction as well. Pretty brushy at the top.
