Top 10 MTB trails in North Vancouver, BC - everything you need to know

[@user-ke6qp9wo7x]

We are very lucky to have great trails in our backyard

[@ronsanderson99]

Absolutely...I say that nearly every day! Thanks for watching!

Damn these trails are super technical to get down!

[@ronsanderson99]

Yup, super technical…they say if you can ride the North Shore, you can ride anywhere…almost! Only a couple of flowy trails around so you’ve got to develop skill…

While I mostly agree with your list, I might have a bit of a bias as those where the trails I began my introduction to riding on. It is quite difficult to pick a top 10 or 100 but I would definitely include Squamish, Whistler and Silverstar on my list. Keep up the good work!

[@ronsanderson99]

Thanks for the comment. I wonder what other tail you might have included in my North Van list. I am also working on a Top 10 for Squamish but need to ride a couple more trails to verify it’s all inclusive of their best trails. Squamish has so many great trails! With Whistler the challenge is how many of the downhill park trails to include because there are also so many great valley trails that very few ride anymore. One of these days I’ve got to get to Silverstar, but Revelatoke and Nelson are awesome as well! Thanks for watching!!

@@ronsanderson99 Other than missing Cypress, your list has a pretty good mix of trails but not all black and double black trails are equally difficult. Lady's is one of my favorite trails as well but I have always found it difficult to compare mountain to mountain/trail to trail, just by their trail rating. I look forward to your Squamish list! 🙂

I purposely left cypress out of my North Vancouver only Top 10 because I don’t think I’ve ridden enough trails on Cypress to evaluate a list. When I create my Top 10 lists, it’s not just a feel but rather based upon ranking the flow, technical, scenic and attribute variety characteristics of each of the over 1,500 trails I’ve ridden. It’s not just a matter of how popular or how hard the trails are but the sum of these characteristics compared to other trails - but the technical element has a minor tendency to select harder than easier trails. I’ve also made Top 10 lists for my favourite US destinations in Moab, Sedona and Hurricane/St. George’s. As I sufficiently cover other trail regions I am hoping to create more Top 10 lists. Thanks for riding along!

Good choices but Kirkford as a top 10 is wild.

Thanks for watching…they are all good…hard to find 10 cause there are still more great trails!
