This 6-mile loop offers an exhilarating ride through dense forests, rolling hills, and expansive meadows, all while providing breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks that showcase the park's natural beauty. A ride along this plateau allows bikers to immerse themselves in the park’s wildlife while navigating its wide, well-maintained gravel roads suitable for a range of skill levels. As cyclists traverse the drive, they may encounter elk, bison, and the occasional glimpse of wolves—a reminder that they are traversing a living ecosystem.
