Overview

Roaring Fork Road climb up to the awesome descent of Salt Creek Trail

Description

Roaring Fork Road is the typical shuttle road used to ride Salt Creek or a mellower grade and climb get to the top vs pedaling up Ryman Creek Trail. The shuttle is a bit bumpy and takes a good bit of time. Best to be prepared for as it's not a quick shuttle and also wouldn't want to take a low car up the road. The road also makes for a good climb trail and isn't too heavily trafficked either. Once at the top, you drop into Salt Creek which is a good mix of flowing sections and also some steeper bit with roots and rock tech mixed in. Absolutely breathtaking trail in the fall time. One of the favorites in the area for the gravity orientated riders due to its speed and tech.
