B2BB Ride Guide

The Brundage to Bear Basin trail is a multi directional trail that can be ridden from the bottom, at Bear Basin, or at the top, Brundage Mountain. Riding from the summit of Brundage will allow riders to descend 1,700 feet in an exciting “mostly downhill” adventure. The 12 mile favorite route, includes a chairlift ride to the summit before connecting Rock Garden and Lakeview Vista to B2BB.

Where to park

The BlueBird Express runs Wednesdays – Sundays from 10 am – 4:30 pm.

We suggest leaving a vehicle at the West Face Parking Lot, which is 4.5 miles from McCall on the north side of Hwy 55. (44°56’54.59″N, 116°10’4.06″W)

From there, it’s an easy right turn back on to Hwy 55, and a 4 mile paved drive up Goose Lake Road back to Brundage. Easy!
