Johnny Falls Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in Wyoming's Lander Field Office. The out-and-back ride covers about 2.5 miles with a total climb of 623 feet, from a low point of about 5,495 feet to a high of about 5,736 feet. It is a low-commitment ride for riders looking to spend a few miles on a single loop rather than linking several trails together. The trail is part of a cluster of mountain biking options in the area. Red Ridge lies just 0.1 mile away, and J-Line is about 0.7 mile off. Flowin' Johnny and Johnny Draw are both within about 1.6 miles, so it's easy to fold another ride into a trip here. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lander show July highs around 86°F and lows near 56°F, with September easing back to about 73°F by day. Winter is cold, with January highs around 35°F and lows near 13°F.
