Boulevard -> Bear Arms Map

Aside from Green World, Boulevard is the only true top-to-bottom trail in the Trestle Bike Park.. This trail descends the front side of the mountain, from the top of the gondola to the very bottom, and is one of the only mountain bike trails on this aspect of the mountain.

Description

While Boulevard is rated as a black diamond freeride trail on the map, it's actually a very mixed bag of the trail. While you'll find some jumps and berms on Boulevard, there are plenty of rough rocks and technical features mixed in. This raw, natural feel is due to Boulevard's history as one of Trestle's oldest trails. While many parts of Boulevard have been reworked over the years, the classic stretches of singletrack are still evident.

That said, Boulevard is home to some newly revamped jumps (as of the time of this writing in fall 2024) that are pretty substantial, with near-vertical lips! This four pack of big jumps provides some serious air opportunities!

As you transition into Middle Boulevard, the trail gets rockier and more technical, with some fun, fast sections whipping through the trees.

The route shown here incorporates Bear Arms into the middle of this top-to-bottom run down Boulevard. Bear Arms is a fantastic black diamond tech trail with a ton of rocks to bash through and a small but entertaining boulder to roll down in the middle.

The chunk continues most of the way down the rest of Lower Boulevard, with some flowy berms and fast sections to finish.
