Mountain Biking Trails near Fruita

Colorado is a haven for mountain bikers, with great trails all over the state. Unfortunately, the season is limited in many areas due to the mountain climate. Fruita, near Grand Junction, however, has the climate to allow you to extend your mountain biking season through the shoulder seasons and into the winter months. It's also a quirky little town with enough personality to entice you to stay a while and return.

The mountain biking trails in and around Fruita are among the best in the state. The 18 Road Trails, including the infamous Zippity Do Da trail, and the Kokopelli Loops are the most notable. This is desert terrain, with trails running along ridge tops and everywhere in between, as well as alongside cliff ledges with views of the Colorado River. For many mountain bikers, this area has become an alternative to Moab, Utah. During the spring, you can even combine sports, such as mountain biking in Fruita one day and skiing at Beaver Creek or Vail, both of which are just over two hours away.
