“Fun singletrack part of Royal Gorge trail system.”

— Eric Law

Overview

Best ridden after the snow melts.

Description

Great trail that connects with Summit connection and Reindeer Trail for a full loop around the serene lakes neighborhood. Be aware this is a multi-use trail with lots of hikers and the occasional horse.
