It’s no secret that the McCall, Idaho mountain bike scene is going off, and now the renowned destination is home to its own epic shuttle run. Thanks to the recent completion of the final missing link in 2023, mountain bikers can now descend over 2,800 vertical feet from the summit of Brundage Mountain on 12 miles of spectacular singletrack.
Brundage offers several bike park trails, but the shuttle run mentioned here heads out of the resort boundary and drops steeply to the Bear Basin trail system far below. Known as the Brundage to Bear Basin (B2BB) route, this linkup is quickly becoming renowned as “the best 12 miles of mountain biking in McCall.”
“The different sections of this trail have been built piece by piece over the past seven years,” according to a press release from Brundage Mountain. “The Brundage Mountain Bike Park opened the Lakeview Vista trail in 2019 and added Rock Garden in 2021, then CIMBA (Central Idaho Mountain Bike Association) spearheaded a coordinated effort to complete B2BB in 2023. All three trails are rated intermediate.”
