Family Friendly Mostly flat, easy to ride, great views.

Need to Know

No restrooms, no cafes, no water. It connects straight to Joder Ranch trail.

Description

Trail starts right after the lower "Hogbag Ridge Trail" over a nice wooden bridge. It can also be accessed via a short dirt road starting at 2nd/Denver St. It connects Foothills North via Joder Ranch to Wapiti Trail and Heil Valley Ranch. There are a few wooden bridges (can be a bit slippery), stone paths and sharp turns but all in all an easy trail with great views over the plains.
