Mountain Ranch Bike Park takes great advantage of that otherwise unusable strip of land underneath large power lines. There is tons of single track thoughout the area but the bike park offers some great features. At the base, there's a skills park for all ages to practice jumps, drops, ladders, and berms.
The first skills section you'll see is the ladder park. With over 400 feet of ladders and rock features, you'll be able to practice everything from basic balance to balancing on berms and climbs to riding technical rock features and executing drops. There's even just some plain boards for practicing some skinnies.
The next park is a very small little bike park for the kiddies. It's complete with jumps and berms but nothing is over 2 feet high.
The most popular section of the skills park is the jump track which features 5 sets of table tops, each with 3 sizes of jumps. The first set has a jump to the side so you can gap over to the actual table top and the last of the larger jumps has a very small gap.
There are 3 official trails in the park. Each uses the same bike path and access road to get to the top and each of them ends back at the ladder park.
- 110 is rated Beginner and is flowy with ladders. There are a few jumps under 2 feet and a few optional ladder features.
- 220 is rated Intermediate and is actually fairly technical compared to Juniper, which is marked as Advanced. There are several optional ladders and several more technical areas of rock to climb and descend. Navigating the intermediate trail can be tricky as well as there are many optional routes that do not all lead back into the main trail. For the most part, there isn't a ton of slope up or down.
- Juniper is rated Advanced likely due to the slope and speed. You'll find plenty of flow, jumps, and speed. There are a couple of table tops and a couple of small kickers. At the beginning of the trail, there's a pretty serious drop with a rocky landing that leads immediately into a berm. After that, it's pretty mellow. There's not a lot of optional features but there are no gap jumps and nothing that couldn't be rolled over if it looked like it was too much.
