Although a recent addition to the La Junta lineup of activities, Mountain Biking has grown to become a favorite.   Older campers learn to care for their equipment then master many of the same trails as the horseback riders. 

 

 

Another important aspect of Mountain Biking is the care and maintenance of equipment.   Campers receive training and practice on the proper way to repair flats, adjust gears and replace brakes.  Over the course of a summer, La Junta's bikes are well worn, but well looked after.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While everyone knows how to ride a bike, not everyone has learned the balance to sit upright and still for a minute, jump off a 2 foot wall or ride down a set of steps.  Safe operation over an exciting array of trails, skills and obstacle courses is the plan for Mountain Biking at Camp La Junta.
