Description

This 8.1 mile loop starts and ends at the Spruce Meadows Trailhead in tiny Greenland, Colorado. This is an easy singletrack route that is ideal for beginners.

I recommend riding the loop in a counter-clockwise direction, although either is acceptable.

Lots of loose sand. Once pst the tunnel the vegetation is extremely overgrown. If you do want to power through the vegetation, be sure to wear pants. 3.4mi — 0h 32m

Spruce Meadow was pretty sandy most of the way. Got off the trail a few times where it was unclear to either follow the 2 track or the trail/cow path. 9.7mi — 1h 30m

Cow pasture pretty flat. Very rutted in April but solid. Spruce Mountain Ranch Trail next door probably better for bikes. — 1h 20m

Pretty boring singletrack through a pasture. Good trail if you just want to get in some miles on a lonely trail.
