Yakima's Backyard for Adventure
Sometimes the best adventures are closer than you think.
Just one hour west of our Brisbane headquarters – and around 1.5 hours from the Gold Coast, Hidden Vale Adventure Park has become one of our favourite places to escape, load up the bikes and hit the trails.
As proud supporters of Hidden Vale for over 10 years, we've watched it grow into one of Queensland's premier mountain bike destinations. From first-time riders discovering the sport to seasoned cross-country racers, downhill enthusiasts and families simply looking for a fun day outdoors, Hidden Vale is a place that welcomes everyone.
It's more than somewhere we sponsor. It's somewhere we genuinely love to ride.
And it's exactly the kind of place Yakima was built for.
More Than a Bike Park
Set amongst 12,000 acres of stunning Australian bushland, Hidden Vale Adventure Park is one of those rare places that has something for everyone.
Whether you're introducing the kids to mountain biking, chasing a personal best on the cross-country trails or simply looking to reconnect with nature, you'll find an adventure waiting here.
With more than 80 kilometres of purpose-built trails, riders can choose from flowing beginner tracks, technical descents, fast XC loops and everything in between. The park also offers trail running and hiking, making it a true outdoor playground for all ages and abilities.
It's the kind of place where every visit feels different, and every rider leaves with a smile.
Why We Keep Coming Back
One of the things we love most about Hidden Vale is its community.
It doesn't matter whether you're riding your first trail or training for your next marathon event - everyone is welcomed with the same enthusiasm.
You'll see families out for a morning ride, mates catching up over a weekend adventure and experienced riders pushing themselves across some of Queensland's best trails.
It's relaxed.
It's friendly.
And it perfectly captures what getting outdoors is all about.
Proud to Support Hidden Vale
Our relationship with Hidden Vale extends well beyond race weekends.
For many years, Yakima has proudly supported Hidden Vale Adventure Park through our bike carrying solutions and sponsorship of the annual Hidden Vale Epic, including the Yakima Mini Epic, helping introduce the next generation of riders to the sport we love.
Supporting Hidden Vale isn't simply about putting our logo on an event.
It's about investing in local riding communities.
It’s helping ensure the trail maps are up to date.
Helping more families discover mountain biking.
Encouraging people to spend time outdoors.
And making it easier to get there with gear you can rely on.
Those are values we've shared with Hidden Vale for years, and we're incredibly proud to continue supporting one of Queensland's most iconic riding destinations.
Every Great Ride Starts Before the Trail
At Yakima, we believe the adventure begins long before your tyres touch the dirt.
It starts in the driveway.
Loading the bikes.
Packing the helmets.
Throwing the esky in the car.
Meeting your mates before sunrise.
Whether you're carrying one bike or the whole family's fleet, Yakima's range of roof-mounted and hitch-mounted bike racks are designed to get you there safely and securely, leaving you free to focus on what really matters - the ride ahead.
Because getting to the trail should be just as easy as riding it.
More Than a Day Ride
One of the things that makes Hidden Vale truly special is that you don't have to rush home when the ride is over.
After a big day on the trails, grab a well-earned meal and a cold drink at The Barn, Hidden Vale's welcoming country pub. It's the perfect place to swap stories, relive the day's best moments and start planning your next ride.
If you're not quite ready to head home, why not turn your ride into a weekend escape?
Stay overnight in one of Hidden Vale's comfortable cabins or treat yourself to the luxury of Spicers Hidden Vale, where beautiful accommodation, incredible food and peaceful countryside provide the perfect way to unwind after a day on the bike.
Some adventures are simply too good to squeeze into one day.
A Place We've Enjoyed for Years
Some of our favourite memories haven't been during races at all.
They've been team ride days spent exploring the trails, testing products, sharing laughs and reminding ourselves why we love what we do.
Hidden Vale has become part of Yakima's story in Australia.
It's where we've celebrated product launches, supported local events, introduced new riders to the sport and spent countless weekends doing what we love most - getting outside.
That's why this partnership means so much to us.
10 + years of partnership.
