Temporary trail closure for Marshall Fire repairs to the Marshall Mesa trailhead. E-bikes allowed per regulation: bouldercolorado.gov/guide/g…

Description

The trail starts out gently from Marshall Mesa trailhead when you ride east. There's a short rock playground to get you psyched for the ride, but it's otherwise a mostly smooth trail surface.

The trail eventually intersects with the Community Ditch trail.

A short but entertaining rock playground near Marshall Mesa trailhead.

Heading out from the trailhead, the smooth wide trail awaits - much like most of the DIrty Bismarck surface.
