Biking In The Bulkley Valley
Tracks Without the Traffic
If you’re looking for trails that fly under the radar but over-deliver, Houston is your kind of ride. Mount Harry Davis, built and maintained by the Houston Mountain Biking Association (HMBA), has quietly become one of the Bulkley Valley’s best-kept secrets since its first trails rolled out in 2016.
Flowy, well-designed routes wind through everything from deep spruce forests to sunlit aspen hills. The network has something for every rider—whether you’re a beginner getting a feel for the terrain or advanced enough to hunt out the trickier sections and obstacles.
The Family Riding Hub at P2 is perfect for a day out with the crew. This spot has covered picnic tables, a fire pit, and access to trails for all levels, with views that’ll make you stop mid-ride (if only to catch your breath).
Options for Everyone
Houston’s Biking isn’t just about Mount Harry Davis. The region’s landscapes deliver four riding options, catering to beginner, intermediate and advanced riders:
- Downhill: Fast, flowy descents on the Houston Mountain Bike Association (MBA) network.
- Gravel: Backroads that roll through quiet stretches of the Bulkley-Nechako.
- Cross-Country: Ski trails transform into winding singletrack come summer.
- Fat Biking: Take on snow-packed trails for winter riding that doesn’t hold back.
The highest elevation for mountain biking trails in Houston, BC, reaches approximately 1,161 meters in the Morice Mountain region. This area offers a variety of trails catering to different skill levels, providing stunning views and diverse terrain for biking enthusiasts.
