Skills You Need for Mountain Biking

If you want to expand your biking horizons and try out mountain biking, the Jackson Hole area offers many scenic opportunities. Just remember that mountain biking is a different experience, especially if you take to hilly and winding trails. A strong sense of balance is one indispensable skill. You can easily develop this over time, but it doesn't always come quickly.

A higher level of alertness is also beneficial. As you switch from uphill to downhill and as you encounter obstacles in the manner of roots, rocks and sand, you need to focus intently on your riding. Finally, a strong core and arm and wrist muscles help you maneuver on challenging trails.

Grand Teton Bike Trails To Check Out

With the national park, you can find many excellent bike trails. You can road bike on all paved roads in the park as well as gravel roads such as Two Ocean Lake Road and Grassy Lake Road. Some areas within the park will be posted as off-limits for bikers, meaning they are essentially hiking trails.

Fall is a wonderful time to explore this beautiful area on two wheels. Contact Sixthreezero to find the best bike for your adventure.
