This would be my first bike. Looking to bike mostly for fitness and fun. Reading about types of bikes has mostly confused me.
I believe I want a hybrid bike because I will (probably) mostly be doing paved or literal gravel paths. However, I would also like to do trails like

Would I be able to do stuff like above with a hybrid like the Trek FX series or would I better off getting a mountain bike for that stuff? Will it work but just be sub-optimal? Would riding MTB on road to trail or paved path just suck? I weigh 250 lb so I feel like that would be an issue on dirt paths like above for hybrid. Or would gravel be better? Don’t think I can afford that though. But I feel like I could get a used MTB and hybrid for the cost of a used gravel.

Thanks for any input.
