5-Day Itinerary

Day 1

Pump Track and Ferry Island

Get warmed up at the family-friendly pump track nestled in at the base of Terrace Mountain behind the Terrace Sportsplex. This is also the starting point for the HUB trails, which have green and blue style runs on lower Terrace Mountain.

Want to keep it chill? You can also warm up on the flat trail network at the City of Terrace’s Ferry Island – this area is a popular walking and dog-walking space, so make sure you share the trails.

Day 2

Spring Creek

Mountain Bikers love the Spring Creek trails located in north Terrace, combining technical, intermediate and expert enduro-style trails for experienced riders. Beginner trails such as Hey Bear are great for beginners and families.

Check out our newest flow trail, Terradise, a blue run that has a short loop and a long loop (8 k.m.) option. Be prepared to earn your turns, you have to ride up to ride down!

Day 3

Copper Mountain

This area is full of trails that are replete with Terrace trademark technical sections, lots of rocks and roots. You can earn your turns by riding up the road from the parking lot to the trailhead or bring a buddy to share shuttle duty and drive up, but ride down.

Most of these trails are best suited to experienced riders with technical ability.

Day 4

SasAak trails – Gitwinksihlkw

Visit the spectacular Nass Valley, home to the Nisga’a Nation and northern BC’s incredible Lava Bed Memorial Park. Located about 105 km from Terrace in the community of Gitwinksihlkw, it may be one of the most breathtaking drives to mountain bike trails.

Check out the Saasak’ trail network and discover some of the best flow trails you will find in Northern BC. The trails also double as out-and-back hiking routes and there’s viewing platform at the top of Saasak' Hill overlooking the lava fields.

Day 5

Terrace Mountain

Finish off your bike trip back on Terrace Mountain – this time, check out the upper trail head to access more than 60 km of established bike trails. Many of the Terrace Mountain trails mean a bit of a hike up and lots of technical sections on the way down.

The trail development in Terrace couldn’t happen without the support of dedicated local volunteers who make up the Terrace Off-Road Cycling Association. Check out their web page at torcanorth.com or their Facebook page (@TORCA) where you can catch up with events, check out the trail guides and reports.
