September 27-29 will bring a brand new event to the McCall area. You won’t want to miss the Fall Fat Tire Festival…a celebration of all things mountain biking! Head down to Depot Park (next to Hotel McCall) for daily live music, local vendors, and more AND join one (or all!) of the group rides planned. This event highlights the amazing work our mountain biking community has done making our local trails some of the best in the Northwest!
