The mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe, California were among the first trails explored by the first mountain biking enthusiast. Today, various ski areas offer a free summer lift to the top of the hill for you and your two wheels. The descent is up to you. If you've never skied in the US until Squaw, then you haven't mountain biked until the Sierras.

The serenity of biking through the sandstone and along dry riverbeds of Utah's Canyonlands combines geological wizardry with lunar hallucinations. The trails challenge every level of rider. More traditional mountain riding is available in such legendary ski towns as Park City and hills like Snowbird.
