Long loop with only one repeat up Ridge Trail. Granite trail can be skipped with going straight into Ellision connector. Highly recommend going across the road for the final small loop of Nature Loop

The Predator Ridge bike trails are now closed for the season due to frost and muddy conditions. The resort closes trails every year until mid-April to protect the trails and ensure rider safety. This seasonal closure also allows the resort to work on future development, without disrupting trail access during the busy riding season. We kindly ask that you respect these closures to help preserve the trails and ensure everyone’s safety. Thank you! reporter
