Mountain Biking

Globally renowned as a premier freeride training facility, North America's largest municipal bike park is an ode to mountain bike progression and THE spot to dial in your skills before exploring the rest of Kamloops' vast trail networks. Accessed by vehicle shuttle or a dedicated climbing trail, "The Ranch" is a 26-hectacre home to 12 downhill trails packed full of berms, jumps and drops, and ranging in difficulty from beginner to pro. At the bottom you'll also find a series of progressive dirt jump lines in the floodlight-lit Jump Corral, where it's not uncommon to rub shoulders with world-class athletes as well as up-and-coming local rippers.

The addition of the All Wheels Pump Track Facility in 2024, featuring paved beginner, intermediate and competiton-level pump tracks, rounds this out as a great place to bring the whole family.

Located a short 20 minute drive outside of town, Harper is the hearbeat of the Kamloops downhill scene. Here, trails ranging from mellow flowing singletrack to full-on DH jump lines, descend 500 meters from the shuttle drop point towards scenic Paul Lake below. The easy shuttle access paired with the breadth of trail difficulties make this a favorite for families and mixed-ability groups. The easier greens and blues offer a variety of opportunities for speed and progression, while the advanced trails navigate plenty of the steep and loose terrain that Kamloops is famous for.

Expect to find ribbons of tacky dirt winding through forests and meadows, with lots of potential for railing berms and getting the wheels off the ground. The surrounding ponderosa pines keep the area cooler and greener, providing a totally different experience from the arid ridges and desert sage-flats in town.

Inspired by the freeride scene in Kamloops, Sun Peaks has long been known for steep, raw singletrack and big hits. While you'll still find plenty of opportunities to get rowdy, with iconic tech lines like Insanity One, Gnar-Boom and Smitty’s Steeps, the park has made major investments in newschool flow and jump lines built for progression, with trails and features for every rider, from first timers to pros.
