Overview
Easy climb until you hit the Colorado Trail. From there, the loop rises 3000 feet in 3 miles. The review from Colton Johnson is a fraud. This trail is difficult, technical, and steep. No cyclocross, gravel or rigid bike will suffice. Colton was trying to punk tourists. In the winter, you ride a fat bike to your death in avalanche country. See ya!
Description
This trail rises over 3000 feet feet in 3 miles at an average of 7% with some at 32%. The entire Colorado Trail is extremely rocky. A gravel bike or a rigid bike on this trail would be horrendous.
Begin the ride by parking in one of the three lots on the backside of Frisco, near the
Temple Trail. Proceed toward the
Copper to Frisco Bike Path. Ride up the path until you reach Wheeler Junction and the
Wheeler Trail / CT - Segment 7: Miner's Creek Trail.
The rides most challenging portion, and largest climb, begins around mile eight at Wheeler Junction and the beginning of the
Wheeler Trail. Push through!
After the four-mile climb (first on the
Wheeler Trail/Miner's Creek and then continuing on Miner's Creek), you'll be rewarded with nearly continuous downhill singletrack for the rest of the ride, and some amazing peak views. Consider a break around Peak 6 before starting a long descent.
Turn north on the
Peaks Trail, which will take you back to the parking lot in Frisco.
