Description

If you are an advanced rider, this is probably not your cup of tea (although races are occasionally held here). If you are looking to get into mountain biking, this is a great spot to learn. You find short, punchy climbs, small obstacles and the occasional rattlesnake. It's a good idea to learn the rules of the a trails before you head out - there are lots of other trail users! Have fun, and learn!

In the summer the flowers along the trail are awesome. The Rocky Mountain Columbine was designated the official state flower of Colorado in 1899 after winning the vote of Colorado's school children.
