“A great way to gain some elevation in Horsetooth Mountain Park. ”

— Brook Mooney
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Features: -none- [Add/Remove]
Dogs: Leashed

Description [Suggest Changes]

An access road heading out of the main parking lot, this is a popular way to get a good portion of the way up Horsetooth Mountain. While there is little in the way of technical terrain, the steepness in some sections warrants an Intermediate rating.
