Secret & Lizard Trail intersection

Embark on the Giants Grave loop, a moderate mountain biking route spanning 13.2 miles (21.2 km) with an elevation gain of 1128 feet (344 metres). You can expect to complete this ride in about 2 hours, navigating a rugged, rocky desert landscape. The trail features prominent rock formations, including a notable drop between two rocks and a challenging climb through large rock formations, providing unique visual anchors throughout your ride.

This route is not recommended for beginners due to its challenging nature and technical terrain. While you will find options to bypass the most difficult sections, be prepared for tricky, uneven ground, steep sections, rocks, and switchbacks. Successfully navigating these technical parts, like the Giant Slalom Descent, offers a great sense of accomplishment for experienced mountain bikers.

The Giants Grave loop is a highlight within the larger Bloody Shins trail system, known for its demanding yet rewarding rides. Local mountain bikers cleared and made the trail easier to follow in late 2018, ensuring a well-maintained path. This dedication to trail upkeep contributes to a unique and engaging experience in this advanced mountain biking area.
