Towns now realize that mountain bikers aren't just a bunch of 20 y.o. stoners but a good number of older riders who spend money in town. In some ways figuring out which hikes to do is easier than which mountain bike trail systems to visit.
The Winthrop area is a mtn biking mecca - not bad for road bikes and fat/snow riding as well.
On the phone, the MTB Project app is handy. There's also a hiking version.
Besides MTB Project, we also use the Trailforks app. Obviously lots of overlap but each has trails that aren't on the other. I like how you can see where you are on the map so when you get to a junction, you can figure out which way to go.
Thanks all for suggestions. A common theme does seem to be to stop for ice cream in Winthrop!
