Description

This trail forms a loop that can be easily added to your ride in Horse Gulch. The trail branches off of the Meadow Loop or can be added in conjunction with Mike's Trail. When done counterclockwise, it features a relatively mellow and flowing climb uphill and some harder technical sections on the way down.

This trail has several junctions that are all generally well marked and usually feature maps on metal posts for your route finding convenience. It usually only adds about 20 minutes to my ride and is an excellent choice when searching for a ride of moderate length and difficulty while still being very close to town.
