Here, you can enjoy stunning views of Rabbit Ears. It's a great place to pause and take in the views before making your way back.

For mountain bikers, the Rabbit Ears Trail is a lung-scorching climb and a heart-pumping descent! This technically easy jeep road delivers postcard-worthy panoramas, but thin air and steep sections test your endurance.

This section of the Fish Creek Trail rewards cyclists with breathtaking views of Long Lake. Perfect for a quick rest before powering ahead or turning back.

This park near the Fraser River has a small fishing pond, picnic areas and some short connected trails. It is an entrance point to Granby from the south, and ends the Fraser to Granby Trail.

This section of trail is a steady, unrelenting — excuse me, exhilarating — northbound climb along the Wyoming Trail, which overlaps with the Continental Divide Trail. Not all of the CDT is open to mountain bikers, but this portion is, and you'll get just one or two breaks in the elevation gain until you reach Buffalo Pass.

This is a great spot to catch a view of Rabbit Ears Peak looming above you. The ascent to the actual peak is a technical rock climb, and the rock climb itself is very loose and crumbly — so for most trail runners, this is as far up as you'd ever want to go.

Barber Lake's roadside access makes it a great place to start, stop, or turn around on a ride along the nearby Barber Lake Trail (sometimes also called the Libby Creek Trail, since it ties in to the trail of that same name). If you start your ride here you can power up the trail's consistent elevation gain, then pretty much coast on the way back. Or you can make a loop by riding one way on Barber Lake Road. Barber Lake Trail, itself, is fun single and double track. Believe it or not, this is a great place for spotting butterflies too. Keep an eye out for species like the hoary anglewing and the green comma if you pause in your ride.

Although this challenging singletrack doesn't get a lot of traffic (probably because you need a 4-wheel-drive vehicle with high ground clearance to reach the trailhead), it's a fun one. You'll grind out some elevation gain on the way up, then gain it all back on the way down again. If you want a longer ride, this trail also links in with the Gap Lakes Trail and beyond.
