Huck Forest Bike Camp - High Lonesome Downhill Skills Bike Camp
Come join us in the forests near the High Lonesome Hut to improve your downhill mountain bike skills. The Huck Forest Bike Park features a mountain cross course, ladder trails, a downhill course and a series of gap jumps in beginner, intermediate and advanced lines. New features are always being added as well. Your base camp is a fully equipped, solar powered cabin with hot and cold running water, a shower, a flush toilet and comfy beds.

Riders ages 8-16 will bike to the camp over a 2.4 mile trail. Evenings will be spent playing, riding and sitting around a campfire. Daytime activities will include building mountain biking skills and exploring in the woods. Food will be plentiful, including marshmallow roasts around the campfire. Great care is taken to ensure students only ride courses they are comfortable with, after extensive practice on beginner features.

The Park is on a private wooded parcel at 9,400 feet elevation, near the High Lonesome Hut. The property is surrounded by National Forest, and students ride to the camp along a permitted right of way through the forest. Parents are welcome to ride into the hut with the students on the first day and check out the Park and the Hut. You may ride in again on the final day to see the new skills your children have learned.

The Camp Director is Forest Miller, a student at Ft. Lewis College in Durango. Forest is a member of the Fort Lewis College downhill team. He and his brother Skyler race on the Mountain Cup Circuit, the local mountain bike race series in Colorado. Wade and Cody Wilderman and Totally Wired Cyclery in Fraser are also sponsors. The Camp Manager is Andrew Miller, a qualified and experienced Colorado elementary teacher, manager and owner of the High Lonesome Hut, and a licensed Colorado Large Child Care Center Director. Camp insurance is with USA Cycling, participants must register as NORBA members (registration packets available through the camp, fees are minimal).
