Deep reading: A great resource for local mountain bike trails is the book “Mountain Bike Rides of the Flathead Valley.” Written by local residents Mike Meador and Lee Stanley, this book contains detailed descriptions and maps for nearly every legit trail to be found in the area. It is available at most local bike shops for around $14 or online from Glacier Cyclery.
