Description

This descent is a mile of hike-a-bike down once the trail enters Stanley Canyon.

The Stanley Canyon Trail (707) begins off of Schubarth Road (307). The first mile gently descends to access Stanley Reservoir. It meets with the Stanley Rim Trail (722), and Trail 721 at the reservoir. These are often ridden as a loop.

The Stanley Canyon Trail continues down to AFA property, and a half a mile past the reservoir it becomes hike-a-bike between boulders and steep grade. It is a means to descend to AFA property. Although most of the trail is rugged singletrack, the final three-quarters of a mile merges with a wide gravel service road (Forest Rd 411) which connects to the Stanley Rim Trail (722) trailhead on the USAFA. This trailhead also allows immediate access to the USAFA Falcon Trail.

PLEASE DELETE THIS TRAIL FROM THE DATA BASE. IT IS UNRIDABLE AND A HAZARD TO ALL. THERE IS NO SAFE WAY TO TRAVERSE THIS WITH A BIKE.

Was hoping to use this to connect to Rampart Reservoir unfortunately, this is a challenging and rocky/boulder filled trail. Climbs a lot too. On...

I have hiked this trail many times and love doing that. Because of this, I can say with all conviction that it is no good for mountain biking.
