Features Views

The Millsite Trail provides the eastern and northern perimeter route through the most densely forested part of this park. Much of the first half of the trail tracks along the creek and is a pleasantly shady place to do your climbing.

The trail is best ridden in the opposite direction as shown on map - downhill. A great descender for intermediate riders. Taking the Gilpin Tram to Easy Money is a WAY easier ascent and will allow for a better experience for the beginner/intermediate rider on the trail system; however, it is more exposed but has equally great views along the way.

The tread is very accommodating and there are few technical challenges, but it is designated as an intermediate trail. While it is only an average grade of 6.4%, there are some punchy sections and climbing corners that will add to your workout. This is the preferred climbing route from the Hidden Treasure Trailhead and the fastest way to the downhill trails when completing your climb to the summit via Easy Money.

Be sure to check out the short overlook spur trail that gives a birds eye view of Missouri Canyon about three-quarters of the way up.
