Closed to bikes Dec 1 - Apr 15. One Way Only: This is designated as a directional trail.

Overview

Great addition to the I-70 corridor trail system. These professionally-built trails are fun, fast and accessible. The beauty of the area (with very old junipers and rock formations) makes this system a fun and easily accessed option very close to I-70. Enjoy the trails and spend some time and money in nearby Rifle. Kudos to the locals for expediting the process!

Description

This is a very rideable area that is south-facing and soaks up moisture quickly. While the route here encompasses the entire system, the ride is so well-designed that one can ride one, two or all three segments. Please note that the directions are as suggested and optimized for "rideability". Please heed the directions suggested.
