Broadway Flow Trail

Overview
The recently constructed Broadway Flow Trail is a great way to warm up on your visit, with a base elevation of 7,100’ to keep you cool as the valley floor heats up. If you want additionally rocky terrain in your day then jump on the singletrack trails that roam around the resort, tucking in and out of the trees and across granite lines cut into the hillsides.

Route Details
The scenic drive to Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort will get you in the mood for the terrain you’ll encounter. As you wind your way up to the lodge, the trees will thin out and the granite slabs will become more prominent, until you arrive at the parking lot at just over 7,000’. Unless you’ve coming from another high-elevation destination, don’t try to sprint out of the gate or you’ll be gasping after 60 seconds.

The lift only runs for select events so unless you’ve timed your arrival with one of those weekends, you’ll need to earn your turns on the Broadway Flow Trail. The climb up is just under two miles with a couple steep pitches to make sure you’re legs are warmed up by the time you reach the top. The effort is worth it, though, because the descent packs a lot of twists and turns as you drop 800’ through berms and rollers built to maximize momentum. Take the first lap easy and get to know the trail, then head back up for a second time to link it all together with maximum flow. At this elevation, even pumping the trail will give you a workout.

A third lap brings it all together but if you’re already feeling your legs or if you want rockier terrain in your day then jump on the XC ski routes for some granite grinding. Although they are covered with snow in the winter, in the summer these routes turn into singletrack trails that provide a good challenge with short, scenic loops around the ski area, mixing in high-alpine loam with rocky outcroppings. Add just a couple miles or see if you can ride it all for the full experience.

Riding Season
The start of the riding season is dependent on the previous winter’s snowpack but plan on early summer through fall.
