Copper Harbor in MI and Spirit Mtn in MN
For those of you who have ridden in those places, is it wise to rent a DH bike or will a typical cross country full suspension bike be ok?
Are there trails in both places where I can take riders that are young (8 yrs old that can ride Dorrance and South loop at Illiniwek) and riders that are nervous on gnarly stuff?

Copper Harbor has trails for all abilities (flowy and mellow to "you ride down that?" crazy). There is quite a bit more climbing there than locally but the climbs aren't steep on the easier trails. Trail surface is generally dirt with river rock mixed in. There are some section with slick rock and jagged rock outcrops but those are typically on the blue/black trails. You'll have a lot more fun on a trail bike vs a XC full squish but either will work fine. A DH specific bike will be too much bike for most trails. Never been to Spirit Mountain; hope to change that eventually...
