Description

Start next to the Lower Beaver Creek Express lift and follow doubletrack up a ski run with some switchbacks. It soon switches to mostly singletrack and enters aspen forest for most of the way.

It's a good way to reach Village to Village Trail. This is also a great way down at the end of your day, if you parked at the Elk or Bear lot.

Sections of dense aspen and singletrack make you smile!

Elkhorn starts on old doubletrack with some nice scenery.

Meandering up the Elkhorn Trail at a nice consistent pace.
