This trail system offers a fun singletrack right behind the Echo Ridge Apartment complex. It's not very long but offers a fun flowy singletrack in Castle Rock. It's a perfect place for taking a beginner or the kids to expose them to singletrack without having to commit them to a longer trail or getting or too far from the parking lot if they don't fall in love with it.

This trail is also utilized by hikers. So, please be courteous on the trail.

With amazing views of the front range Rockies and singletrack in town that makes you feel like you are lost in the woods, Metzler Family Open Space provides a different ride than other trails in Castle Rock. The two short loops provide a nice spot to get a breath of fresh air on a quick ride after work or first thing in the morning. There is some sneaky elevation to this ride. It doesn't feel like a ton of climbing, but at the end you'll be happy to know you've earned some altitude.

There are two ridges that connect the main loops of the trail. Rosemary's Ridge is flowy and similar to the rest of the trail. However, Rancher's Ridge Trail is a black and has some very technical parts to it if you're feeling adventurous.
