Description

Eagle Road provides a more rideable ascent route to access the southern end of Sidewinder Trail than Eagle Valley Trail. A mile or so from the start, the road forks. Take the right fork, down into a drainage, to the start of Sidewinder Trail. If you're headed to Red Rocks/Nighthorse Trail or Spike Trail, continue up the ever-steepening road another 2 miles.
