Top 100 Trails List – Ron's World

Here is my list of The Top 100 Trails in Western North America – as selected from the nearly 1,300 individual trails that I have personally ridden. I also continue to explore new trails and so will periodically update this list.

As a complement to this ride list, I have also added a Top 10 Trails list for each of Arizona, British Columbia, Colorado and Utah – four of my favorite riding regions. I also plan to add top 10 trail lists for Oregon and Washington in the near future. So, stay tuned!

You might also be interested to see which cities have the highest number of top tails. Please see the table below. And while Sedona, at 14, has the highest number of top trails for any one city, it is interesting to note that the region surrounding St. George, Utah has a total of 15 top trails between the nearby communities (within a 60 minute drive apart) of Hurricane and Cedar City. It is also interesting to note that between North Vancouver, Squamish and Whistler, communities that are within a 90 minute drive apart, there is a total of 32 top trails. So, start planning your next road trip to one of these fabulous destinations!
