We’ll see you on the trail.
Mount Nebo State Park is a 1,750 ft mountain escape in the Arkansas River Valley’s heart and part of the Monument Trails system. Stepping out on the butte, you will be immersed in spectacular views that set the stage for mountain bike trails for everyone, and include waterfalls, pine forests, winding rock gardens, and gravity–down and up. The drive-up Highway 155 will begin your memorable trip to the mountaintop (Trailers longer than 24ft not recommended).
New for 2023 and in conjunction with BME and Jagged Axe Trail Designs, fresh trails will be built for expert-level riders in line with the technical nature that suits a BME event. Stay tuned for updates on the trail-building progress, which will break ground in early winter.
Loop together many different trail routes, ranging from beginner to expert. Start at the top or the bottom and pick your own adventure. The Miller’s Goat green trail runs a bit easier counterclockwise and connects the expert and advanced routes. The Chickalah and Hayes Creek Run Downhill are the only bike-only trails so be mindful of the other users. The Ox-Pull Climb trail is a biker-up hill-only trail. Hikers can go both directions.
If you’re interested in maximum gravity, shuttle by dropping off at Sunrise and rolling down the Sunrise Loop, across Miller’s Goat to the Hayes Creek Run downhill, and getting picked up at the base of the mountain for a 3.5 mile, 1,100ft descent.
The park features a public swimming pool, cabins, a campground, a visitor center with a bike wash station, and countless miles of hiking trails.
The Big Mountain Enduro presented by Specialized is the premier Enduro tour in North America and currently holds stops in the most picturesque vacation destinations across the United States. This highly anticipated race series offers some of the biggest and most challenging mountain bike terrain in the country that typically includes a combination of backcountry and lift-accessed stages for each tour stop. The 2023 BME national series will showcase Enduro racing at its finest while hosting many of the top professional mountain bikers and teams. New for this year, BME will bring racers two new venues, while always catering to all types of riders in an entertaining festival atmosphere for the entire family and local communities to enjoy.
