Trail has two very different riding areas on either side of the road. One side is a network of singletrack-ish (I'd call it single-and-a-half track, not quite double, not quite single) with shorter trails that you can connect and make up different rides all around. Fun trails, nothing overly technically challenging, all pretty quick, some mid-level climbs. On the other side of the road there's a couple trails with massive climbs, again, not at all technical, just big, long climbs. Takes a lot of work, but once you get to the top, great views, and coming down you get absolutely screaming. Like, downhilling at Keystone fast (if you so desire). That downhill made the climb up very worth it. Kinda crowded trails in general, but fun stuff. Reason I rate it a 4 and not a 5 is because it's a little too wide to call it strictly singletrack, and not enough techie spots for my taste, plus it's kinda crowded. But, very fun trail system regardless. Good way to mix it up from the Boulder-area riding.

3 sisters is a little more rocky than i heard about before i rode it.theres a little bit of local hiker traffic so its a good place to take it easy as far as bombing around.theres two sides of 3 sisters on either side of the road.north and south.i thought it felt as though i was in somones back yard with all the local hiker traffic and all the housing you see all around the trails.didnt particularly like that feeling,although i never met any locals that were unhappy to see me(asking for directions or just plain ol chatting)but thats what i didnt like,theres just too much bonding going on there to just keep riding.its like being over at your grandparents house and you gotta stop and chat with everyone.hahaha.other than that its a cool place to ride.theres technical,sweeping single track,rocky technical,and in the shade of the forest trails,nice single track trails.im gonna rate this a 3 for its too much local traffic to really dig in and get lost in your head and get away from the world while mountain biking qualitys.

I should have said that this is really part of the Alderfer/Three Sisters system, but it is long enough and unique enough to be considered a trail all on it's own. I rode it clockwise, and it kicked my rear-end, but there were plenty of people that passed me and were going strong even near the top. The altitude really slowed me down. Other than that, this is a great trail. It has great views, wildlife, some techy sections, jumps, plenty of tight turns and switchbacks. There were a bunch of hikers out here, which you can expect because this trail system is very popular.
