Description

This narrow, rough & ready, two-way trail provides new ways to make big loops from the upper Prince Creek area to the top of the Crown. Use this trail to ride up to the top of the mountain by riding up Next Jen, (starting much further below, or from Dinkle Link), and then descend Undie to Father of Ginormous.

OR, after climbing Undie or other trails, drop down this trail while enjoying big open views across sage fields towards Mount Sopris, and continue the fun by making a right and dropping down Skull Bucket Trail.

While it might seem a bit steep at times while climbing up this trail, the steepest portions are reasonable compared to the steepest bits of Next Jen you'll overcome on your way to the bottom of the trail.

Upon opening of the trail in Fall of 2022, there is a fence to hop over (be careful with the barbed wire!). A temporary gate will be installed soon, with a ride over structure planned for 2023.
