As a Bronze Level IMBA Ride Center, RAMBA delivers over 80 miles of meticulously crafted trails across the Iron Range. Ride through the scenic hills of Negaunee and Ishpeming, and you might stumble upon some fascinating remnants of the West End's mining history, including unexpected foundations and staircases in Old Town Negaunee. For a new and exciting challenge, try the RAMBA Malton Loop, a 6.4-mile trail perfect for beginners or intermediate riders, with 485 ft. of elevation gain and 381 ft. of descent, featuring flowing trails with narrow, wooded, rocky, and rooty terrain. Intermediate riders can also enjoy the RAMBA Flannel Shirt Trail, a one-mile trail with a 129 ft. elevation gain and 243 ft. descent, offering a fun reward after a bit of climbing on the Luge.
