Biking

The vast majority of the forest’s trails are part of designated wilderness areas where cycling is prohibited. Nonetheless, there are many opportunities for two-wheel enthusiasts on, or near, the Sierra National Forest.

Paved roads that head into the forest are usually very steep but, offer scenic-if not challenging- hill climbing. Most of the forest serves primarily as a majestic backdrop for cycling, and mountain biking in the valleys below. If you are a mountain biking enthusiast and would like to get involved with the Sierra National Forest in helping establish or maintain these trails, volunteer opportunities with the Yosemite South Gate Trail Cooperative are available and is one way to get started.

Summers are hot and dry, so always carry extra water. Winters bring cool temperatures and big snowfalls in the high country.
