High Desert Bike Festival

Join us on Saturday, 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.

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.
