Description

Nature’s Way is all new. What was an aggressive, non-technical, climbing trail has been replaced with an undulating, winding singletrack that bridges the bottom of Granby Ranch to the top.

This trail is the perfect trail to test your climbing legs as it has several sections of “downhill” on the climb. Descending the trail is not your typical descent as the trail rolls up and down as it swoops through the turns.

Rode with Steve Greene on 7/6/2019. Trail in great shape. Long but easy climb. Blue downhill runs were closed so we went down the way we went up. 3.1mi — 1h 30m

Dry trail. All up hill, with some challenging switchbacks. Be ready for an uphill battle.
