Biking

Cycling is a great way to travel through National Forest System lands. There are hundreds of miles of trails and roads accessible by mountain or road bikes on the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland, as well as a number of winter trails suitable for fat biking. These remote, winding roads and trails are ideal for cycling and trails take riders on an exploratory journey.

All classes of E-bike are considered motorized vehicles on the MBRTB. As such, recreationists should use Motorized Vehicle Use Maps to plan routes and trips that use roads and trails suitable for motorized travel.

E-Biking

The Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland categorizes all classes of E-Bikes as motorized vehicles. As such, E-Bikes must stay on motorized roads and trails, which can be found on our Motorized Vehicle Use Maps (MVUMs). It is the visitor’s responsibility to know where they are riding at all times and what restrictions may exist.

Mountain Biking

Across the national forests and grassland, there are hundreds of miles of roads and trails available for mountain bike use. In the summer and fall, this is a great way to spend a weekend, or even get out for a quick morning or afternoon ride. There are no permits, fees, or registration required for individuals, though some areas will require day use fees.

Road Cycling

Road cycling is a great way to get around the national forests and national grassland and enjoy the beautiful scenery. There are miles of paved roads that wind through lush forest and past open vistas. Remember to check road and weather conditions before heading out to ride.
