Description

This trail follows the wash and has a thick gravel / sand surface. Portions of the trail are lined with deep red cliffs that are simply beautiful. The descent of this trail will require you to pedal due to the thick gravel / sand but it's not that difficult. Riding up this trail would be quite difficult and may require you to push your bike unless the surface is quite compacted.

Ruby Wash Trail with some snow in November.
Nov 10, 2017 near Bellvue, CO
On the main path back down though the river wash. Great scenery. Should be riding downhill this entire section. Do not reccomend riding uphill.

Super fun trail. Very loose river run fine gravel. Much easier if you take it counterclockwise from Cheyenne Rim, downstream I would say.
