Diamond Peaks Mountain Bike Patrol is an all-volunteer non-profit organization, whose goal is to promote responsible mountain biking and the “Rules of the Trail’ set forth by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA).

Experience the Mountain Bike Trails of Northern Colorado with DPMBP

There are a lot of great reasons to join the Diamond Peaks Mountain Bike Patrol. Look around. Northern Colorado is one of the most beautiful places in the country, if not the world. If you have ever had the desire to be apart of something so vast and challenging as the Rocky Mountains - the this a great place to start.

Because You Love the Outdoors

Nothing is more invigorating that being a part of the natuarl beauty that surrounds us. But you're the type of person that likes to leave things in a little better condition that you found them. And joinging DPMBP provides numerous opportunties to create, repair and maintain trails that spiral through some of the most beautiful and remote areas of the Rocky Mountains. The rewards outweigh the hard work and knowing that you've help to minimize our impact on our surrounding nature is sweet.

Because You Love to Ride or Hike

Throwing your leg over a bike is reason enough for some to join the DPMBP. But there is something about mountain biking that encourages us to give something back to the natural areas that have given us so much enjoyment. From the saddle of a mountain bike, we're experiencing the vast natural beauty that surrounds us, pushing the limits of our physical and sensory capabilities. It is the pinnacle of experiences. Joining the DPMBP is just one reason to allow yourself the indulgence of this environment as often as you can manage.

Because You Enjoy Working with People

For some, getting out and meeting new people is as good as getting out and seeing snow covered mountain peaks in early June. If that's you and you share a love for mountain biking as well, our Outreach Team is always looking for energetic individuals who are inspired to address the challenges facing mountain biking enthusiats and working along side the public to achieve a solution with everyone's best interest in mind. You'll be joining an energetic group of individuals who make DPMBP a great organization to be apart of and work alongside some fun loving friends who also happen to work alongside some inspiring natural icons.

Because the DPMBP is Making a Difference

Whether you're a mountain biking, trail hiking or nature enthusiast - joining the DPMBP in one facet or another can have a tremendous impact on the quality of life, nature preservation and trail experience that we all enjoy in Northern Colorado.
