Need to Know

**Access to this trail via the Gondola mid-station requires the purchase of a XC or bike park pass to ride during Telluride Bike Park Operating days/hours. For 2022, that is 9 AM - 5 PM, 7 days/week, June 18 - September 18 daily and weekends only September 24 - October 9. Pass must be purchased online or at the Mountain Village ticket window.

Free access to this trail ONLY before 9 AM and after 5 PM when the bike park is closed. Uphill travel is allowed and is always free!

Description

Not a beginner trail because of its length in remote terrain but it is doable for beginner mountain bikers who are looking for an adventure and who want a taste of backcountry riding. There are a couple of steep chutes that can be walked, but it is a great trail overall. The trail work done by the Forest Service, Telluride Mountain Club, and locals made it great!
