High Desert Bike Festival

Join us on the weekend of October 3rd, 2026 in the town of Dolores, a blossoming hub for all things biking in Southwest Colorado, for a full day of riding, learning, and community. While most of the action will take place on Saturday the 3rd, camping in Joe Rowell Park will open up at 3pm on Friday the 2nd with a DJ and light-show that evening at the on-site Lost Canyon bike/skate park to celebrate it's 1st anniversary. On Sunday the 4th, there will be a guided Yoga session in the morning, followed by 2 riding options; a guided gravel ride and a Mini-XC race that will start right next to the venue! 

This event is all about bringing people together through biking, whether you’ve never ridden a trail before or you’ve been riding for years. We’re planning guided mountain bike rides on our incredible local trails, skills clinics at our incredible new bike park, and locals-led gravel ride. With offerings for beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders, there will truly be something for everyone.

The day will also feature a youth and family challenge course designed to build confidence, skills, and share the love for fun on bikes for the next generation of riders. The event will also include a variety of bike games and educational opportunities for all. We’ll welcome vendors from across the Four Corners region, showcasing local businesses, food, and bike related gear. Add in camping options, live music, and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere, and you have an event built for all ages and walks of life.

More than anything, this gathering is about connection. The Four Corners region is rich with culture, history, and diversity, and this is a chance to create a space where people can come together outside, on bikes, sharing trails, experiences, and stories. It’s also about supporting local businesses, creating opportunities for youth, and building something that reflects the spirit of the Southwest.
