“Nice swooping singletrack with exciting switchbacks as you come off the ridge. ”

Grandview Ridge trails are subject to conditional winter wildlife closures. Call the BLM Tres Rios Field Office for the latest info: (970) 882-7296

Description

Good cruising along the rim followed by rapid descent through tight and fairly loose switchbacks. Use particular caution at the last switchback before Carbon Junction; miss the turn and it is over the bank and onto the highway. There are several parking spaces and a sign board with map at the trailhead.
