Description

Silver Creek Road is a scenic gravel / doubletrack road that can be used to connect the CT to Rico via the Circle Trail. Most of the road is groomed in the winter for multi-use and fat bikes. The upper section is doubletrack and has some steep and rocky sections. There is a lot of historic mining and alpine scenery, including an old ore tram you ride under.
