Baker's Park - Silverton Singletrack

Baker’s Park, spearheaded by the Silverton Singletrack Society, is a game-changer for mountain biking in Colorado. This high-altitude bike park, set at over 9,300 feet, is designed to draw riders from across the country. Launched in 2023, the park's ongoing trail development has brought new energy to the area with sustainable and thoughtfully crafted paths that blend seamlessly with Silverton’s rugged beauty.

Covering an expansive 30 miles of planned trails across diverse terrain, Baker’s Park aims to attract all types of riders. The trails were thoughtfully designed to showcase a range of difficulties, from beginner-friendly flow sections to intermediate loops with more technical twists. Currently, the 7-mile beginner and intermediate loop promises smooth flow lines, approachable climbs, and thrilling descents while remaining manageable for riders of varying skill levels. As more trails open, advanced riders can look forward to a full range of challenges set against the stunning alpine backdrop.

A key aspect of Baker’s Park is its focus on sustainable trail building.

Constructed with input from experienced trail designers, the park minimizes environmental impact while maintaining natural elements like rocky features and alpine flora. The park even welcomes class 1 e-bikes, making it accessible to riders with varying physical abilities who may want extra assistance on the higher elevation climbs. This forward-thinking approach also aligns with the increasing demand for e-bike accessibility within trail systems.

Silverton Singletrack Society’s commitment to quality trail design and the local mountain biking community is evident throughout. They’ve partnered with the town and several conservation groups to ensure the park maintains its wild, natural appeal while promoting responsible land use. The trails give local bikers and visitors an outlet to explore the iconic San Juan Mountains while supporting Silverton’s local economy.

Although Baker’s Park is still expanding, it’s already a prime destination for mountain bikers eager for high-altitude adventure. Whether you're a newbie to mountain biking or a seasoned singletrack veteran, Baker’s Park offers an experience that’s worth adding to your bucket list. It’s truly a destination built by bikers, for bikers.
