Description

Use this trail to ride down from the Colorow Trail Spur or give it a try going uphill if you're looking for a workout. The steep and technical rock portions are sure to keep advanced riders entertained. The trail is mostly in pinion/juniper woodlands. Look for the occasional views that open to the south.

Keep in mind that this trail is very popular with hikers and dog walkers. Don't forget to yield and say hello when encountering other trail users on this close-to-town, two-way trail.
