Ron Stewart Preserve at Rabbit Mountain will be closed weekly, Monday through Wednesday, from Sept. 19, 2022 through Jan. 25, 2023 for elk hunting. Details: bouldercounty.org/open-spac…

Description

Cruise down the dirt road into Little Thompson River valley, hit a gate at 1.6 miles, turn around, and crank back up the hill. By this point you should be plenty warm and ready for a lap or two on Eagle Wind Trail.
