Features Views

A new parking lot is under construction. It is currently paved and it appears it is almost finished. Currently there are a few parking spots on the north end of the trail off of Mountain Vista Way.

Overview

This trail system offers a fun singletrack right behind the Echo Ridge Apartment complex. It's not very long but offers a fun flowy singletrack in Castle Rock. It's a perfect place for taking a beginner or the kids to expose them to singletrack without having to commit them to a longer trail or getting or too far from the parking lot if they don't fall in love with it.

Need to Know

This trail is also utilized by hikers. So, please be courteous on the trail.

Description

But, with amazing views of the front range Rockies and a singletrack in town that makes you feel like your lost in the woods, how could you not? Also, a nice spot to get a breath of fresh air on a quick ride after work or first thing in the morning. There is some sneaky elevation to this ride. It doesn't feel like a ton of climbing, but at the end you'll be happy to know you've earned some altitude.

There are two ridges that connect the main loops of the trail. Rosemary's Ridge is flowy and similar to the rest of the trail. However, Rancher's Ridge Trail is a black and has some very technical parts to it if your feeling adventurous.
