Description

These trails at Hermit Park would fit in nicely up at Curt Gowdy. With lots of twists and turns and rocks to navigate, you get your thrills here by employing good bike handling skills instead of screaming descents.

These are beautiful trails, running through pine forest and some large stands of aspen trees. There are many alternate lines built into the trail. These aren't signed (as of this writing), but if you keep a sharp eye while you ride, you can pick them out.

Most of these alternate lines involve large rocks in one form or another, including some drops and steep rollers. There is some really great trail work here, especially evident in the wonderful switchbacks.

10/10. No notes. Perfect blue trail. Decent length. Clean. Some obstacles if you want, but easy to avoid if you don't. Love it! 10.4mi
