“Technical - big rock steps and narrow spots, but a good alternative to the doubletrack. ”

Description [Suggest Changes]

A great descent but I prefer it as a singletrack alternative climb to Towers Trail. This trail is steep. There are several sections that contain 2'+ rock steps and some narrow spots.

If you prefer to stay off doubletrack, this trail is a great way to connect many of the trails in Horsetooth Mountain Park.

It was a bit over my head and I walked a couple spots. But, it had some really fun stretches too!
