Trailhead Welcome Center

The Trailhead Welcome Center is designed as the front door to an unforgettable experience — a vibrant hub that connects locals and visitors to the trails, culture, and community of the region. More than an entry point, it is a place to gather, learn, and explore, blending adventure with hospitality in a truly unique way.

Guests can plan their journeys with concierge services, interactive kiosks, and live feeds from trail cams, while families enjoy casual dining, a beer garden, and an interactive kids’ learning center that introduces the next generation to cycling. Riders can rent gear, tune bikes, or experience virtual trails from around the world, while community events, pop-up retail, and local group showcases bring people together.

Architecturally, the Center’s iconic roof lifts at its corners to welcome visitors, creating light-filled gathering spaces below and transforming into a stage for concerts, shows, and community events. Both cyclists and pedestrians can move seamlessly across the roof, linking downtown to the trails.

With the adjacent Outdoor Cycling Classroom, the Trailhead Welcome Center is more than a facility — it’s a launchpad for discovery, connection, and adventure, setting the tone for everything the region has to offer.
