Description

These trails at Hermit Park would fit in nicely up at Curt Gowdy. With lots of twists and turns and rocks to navigate, you get your thrills here by employing good bike handling skills instead of screaming descents.

These are beautiful trails, running through pine forest and some large stands of aspen trees. There are many alternate lines built into the trail. These aren't signed (as of this writing), but if you keep a sharp eye while you ride, you can pick them out.

Most of these alternate lines involve large rocks in one form or another, including some drops and steep rollers. There is some really great trail work here, especially evident in the wonderful switchbacks.

To the trail sanitizer(s) who is/are tearing large rocks out of the trail bed and placing cheater rocks, the proper authorities have been notified.

it just rained the night before so the trail was in good condition. tacky dirt and slick gravel over rocks with tight corners made my trip a little… 16mi — 2h 30m

The best trail that EP has to offer. Fast and technical, this trail won't disappoint.

Fun rip with the Thursday night crew! Got wet as it rained for the last 1/2 hour, but still a great time. The best trail in the EP area!
