Jim Thorpe Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Jim Thorpe sits in the Lehigh Gorge with steep, rocky riding straight off the town — Broad Mountain's ridge trails, the gorge rail-trail as the climb, and technical descents back to the Lehigh. Anthracite-country sandstone and root over sharp terrain; it drains well on the ridges and stays greasy in the hemlock shade below.
