Perched on the western slope of the Tetons, Grand Targhee Resort has quietly become one of North America’s premier mountain biking destinations. Riders will find more than 70 miles of trails, over 2,000 vertical feet of lift served descending, and a relaxed mountain vibe that’s getting harder to find.

What really sets “The Ghee” apart is the riding. Thanks to the region’s unique climate, the resort is known for its tacky, clay based soil that delivers incredible grip all summer long. Whether you’re carving perfectly sculpted flow trails, challenging yourself on technical descents, or venturing onto scenic backcountry singletrack, every ride is paired with breathtaking views of the Grand Tetons.

The adventure doesn’t stop at the bike park. Just beyond the resort, the Wydaho trail network offers hundreds of miles of additional riding, making Grand Targhee the perfect basecamp for a mountain bike vacation. From family friendly flow trails to epic backcountry adventures, there’s something here for every rider.

Local Freshies recently explored the resort and surrounding trails, putting together a firsthand guide packed with favorite rides, planning tips, and everything you need to know before your visit.
