A great place to mountain bike locally, the island of Virginia Key sits just north of the island of Key Biscayne and is accessible by the Bear Cut Bridge. The northern tip of Virginia Key features a number of public mountain bike trails that interconnect in a beautiful natural environment.
Two of the most difficult of these Virginia Key trails are Stairway to Heaven and Another One Bites the Dust. Stairway to Heaven begins with a large wooden staircase that cyclists must ride down. Riders have described the trail as an extremely fast and fun black diamond run. Accessible from Stairway to Heaven, Another One Bites the Dust is a supremely difficult double black diamond trail. Consisting almost entirely of wooden platforms, it has a number of challenging drops and turns.
