Description

Professionally built to host the Colorado High School Cycling League State Championships, the Haymaker Trail incorporates everything from fast, flat lower sections to a steep, slalom-style descent.

What a great intermediate trail. Just enough vertical gain to work up a sweat while the downhill offers fun wooden features and switchbacks.
