COURSE DESCRIPTION
Owned by Mountain Creek Church, the trails built on this beautiful property through a working
partnership with DORBA, has become the “crown‐jewel” of mountain biking in Dallas. Many have
described them as the finest single‐track built in Texas. The racecourse at BCWT is located up and
down Prayer Mountain, boasting the highest elevation in the city of Dallas; the course winds through
cedar and hardwood forests and descends quickly into a valley, which consists mostly of mesquite
trees and cactus. Trails range in difficulty from beginner to advanced.
BCWT also has advanced Downhill, Jumping and Trials areas.
THESE AREAS ARE DANGEROUS AND ARE DESIGNED FOR EXPERT RIDERS ONLY.
