Mountain Biking Great Falls National Park

***   Add a review
#74 of 300 mountain bike trails in Virginia
#2,789 in the world

The trail does not pose much technical difficulty but offers some GREAT views! If you are a nature lover and want to have a moderate ride this is the place. The trail does have some climbs and a few rocky areas. I've ridden this trail when dry and in snow. The snow provided a better workout and I could enjoy the views. I would ride this trail again.

Rider questions

Q: why is it rated intermediate?
A: Don't know, it really is a beginner trail. Nothing too difficult here, except a couple of uphill climbs depending on which way you're riding.
