pretty much in sparwood.
the shuttle road turns into a hike-a-bike before you reach any kind of trail, don't even try and find it without someone who's been there before.

hike-a-bike'ers are rewarded by smooth, fast, ridgeline singletrack, until you're almost at the bottom and there's no trail any more. this is where you choose between bombing the powerline road or freeriding towards a super slash filled clearcut.

Fairy Creek Trail

How to find it

Head out the Visitor Centre, north of town. In the parking lot you will find a big signboard that describes and maps this trail.

The trail

More typically used as a hiking trail, it is a great ride when the ground is wet, as it is rocky. A couple of steep sections near the start make it unlikely that most will clean all of this but beyond that it is fun flowy riding. Eventually the trail turns up between the Three Sisters and Mt Proctor and heads to the summit of Mt Proctor. That's about when you should call it a day and head back unless you're looking for a lot of hike a bike! Make plenty of noise in case of hikers.

Dorr Road Loop

How to find it

Load your bike on your truck and head out South down Highway 93 from Elko. 13km or so from the Highway 3/93 junction you drop down to the river to cross a big bridge and then up the other side. As the highway climbs back up from the bridge still heading south the embankment on your right gets smaller and smaller. As soon as it flattens out on the right you will see an area you can pull across the ditch and park, with a doubletrack heading back the way you came. Park here and follow the doubletrack on your bike for about 100m until you come to an area of fence that can be opened. Go through the fence (close it behind you!), and ride North on the singletrack back towards the river.
