Mountain Trails
The North Shore mountains have a well-deserved reputation for world-class mountain bike riding. The main mountain biking areas on Vancouver’s North Shore are Mt. Fromme and Mt. Seymour. Natural old-growth Red Cedar planks are used to create obstacles like bridges, ladders, and teeter-totters to ride on.
Below are a few popular North Shore trails:
Bobsled (moderate) Mount Fromme
From city to gritty in minutes. This easily accessible trail is a great place to start as one of the easier Fromm trails where you’ll find a new school flow.
Empress Bypass (easy-moderate) Mount Seymour
This trail was recently rebuilt by the NSMBA as part of the Seymour Adaptive MTB Loop – an initiative to create a fun, inclusive mountain bike experience for individuals who use adaptive mountain bikes. It’s for descending traffic only so access this trail by Old Buck.
Crinkum Crankum (difficult) Mount Fromme
Tight switchbacks among the towering hemlocks and fun cedar bridges wait for you at this famous North Shore trail.
Boogieman (difficult) Mount Seymour
A North Shore classic with mandatory A-frames, skinnies, and steep drops. This is a fun but difficult trail for experienced riders only!
