Western Slope Trails – Mountain Biking at Massanutten

Western Slope & Shuttles

The Shenandoah Valley’s premier trail network. The Western Slope is home to 32 miles of trails ranging from meandering double-track to machine-built flow to steep technical descents of that infamous Massanutten rock. Whether you are looking for a relaxing cruise with the family, catching some after-work exercise with friends, or linking together all-day epics, the Western Slope is sure to supply.

The Western Slope is a collaborative initiative between Massanutten Resort and the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC). SVBC promotes cycling and community all across the Shenandoah Valley. All trails are multi-use and multi-directional.
