Exploring by bike in the Adirondacks is such a great way to enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful, untouched wilderness in Upstate NY. Gore Mountain is an all-seasons resort, allowing experienced riders to fly down the ski trails.

Here are the top three mountain biking trails at Gore Mountain ranging in difficulty: 

1. Hardwood Forest Loop: This easy singletrack loop behind the Gore Base Lodge is best for those just starting mountain biking training. There’s a short rock garden where you can practice shifting and maintaining pedal strokes on descents and climbs through the woods. Stop along the route to read fascinating signage alongside the 1.2-mile interpretive trail. 
2. Ruby Run Trail: This .04-mile main thoroughfare from the top of the gondola at Gore Mountain is considered “more difficult” but is known as an excellent warmup run before heading into the woods. Ruby Run is a shared route for hikers and bikers, offering access to the entire trail network.
3. Sidewinder: A “most difficult” intermediate trail is the longest singletrack downhill route clocking in at 3.3 miles. The trail heads from the Saddle Lodge to the Base Area. This winding trail is shared with hikers and crosses several popular ski trails before weaving into the woods to test your skills on challenging maneuvers over roots, rocks, bridges, and banked turns.

Revolution Rail Co. is the best way to explore for those who would instead enjoy a leisurely peddle through the Adirondacks forests and mountainous terrain! The North Bridge Run, about 20 minutes from our Adirondack lodging property takes riders on a seven-mile out-and-back trip through the beautiful forest canopy and then over the Hudson River across a trestle bridge. 

Whether you try your hand at the challenging mountain biking trails or Gore Mountain or hit the Revolution Rail Co. feel free to ask our property staff for recommendations or help with reservations.
