Alberta: Terwillegar Park
Terwillegar Park offers moderate hills and smooth singletrack trails around a large dog park. Note: these trails can get very muddy after a rain, so stay off the trails when they are wet.
Ontario: Glen Major Forest
While there are plenty of short, challenging climbs at Glen Major, most of the terrain is beginner-friendly here. Because the trails are laid out in a network configuration, riders can customize how short or how long they want the ride to last.
Your turn: What’s your go-to trail for taking riders for their first time?

For one who came to the scene after retirement, I will heavily reference this article as I travel. I scrolled to the Oregon listing first and was pleased to see Timonthy Lake listed. Very true if you live in the Mt. Hood/Portland area. I'm sure the folks around Bend could point to The Deschutes River Trail or several loops you can put together from the Phil's TH.
I always smile at the beginner rating for Sweetwater Preserve trail in Arizona. Plenty of rocks and a bit of climbing that might discourage a beginner. Honeybee Canyon loop near Tucson is an almost flat XC ride.
I think beginner riders in Delaware travel across the Maryland state line and ride near Fair Hill.
