Test out all your tricks on the 30km of trails in Mt Taylor Mountain Bike Park.

This mountain biking wonderland has extreme, intermediate and cross country tracks, including a 5km ascending track taking you to the summit of the mountain. The main climb up Mt Taylor is popular for fitness riders as it climbs 300m elevation in 2.7km. It's also very popular for shuttle runs, preferably using a 4WD vehicle.

Mt Taylor is not exclusively gravity-focussed - it also features a fantastic 8.3km XC loop, and several other blue trails that are a hoot on anything from shorter travel machines to Enduro bikes.

If you prefer to stay on foot, enjoy the walking and tough running tracks in the park.
