TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

So I live in Denver, and had to ride this trail with hopes of not getting caught by the highlands ranch elightest. What is the the deal with that! I say from now on when riding the vast expance of Colorado trails. We carry our id's and check oneanother. If someone happenes to be from highlands ranch, we kick them of the trails, by saying these trails are not for you our city paid for them. It's ok anyway these trails are to easy for anyone not living in highlands ranch to enjoy.

This is a review of the NEW trails in the HR backcountry. There are 5 miles of additional trails off the back of Highlands Point. They are all pretty easy, with very little climbing. The Tenderfoot section is about 2 miles downhill (going west) with plenty of jumps. There is some beautiful scenery of the front range and the backcountry throughout. Not epic by any means, but a great ride and pretty easy. This will soon connect to the Monarch backcountry via the East-West Douglas county trail (Fall 2009).
Similar Trail: Monarch backcountry.

This is a great trail but if you aren't a HR resident the good trails are OFF LIMITS and the HR Nazi's will hunt you down and kick you out. Bummer b/c the newest trails just cut have lots of turns, hills and sandy spots. It's very sweet!

A decent little ride, with few challenges. A good trail if you are pressed for time, but want to sneak in a ride before sunset.

This is a fun trail if you live in the area but it is too short. I cant wait for them to expand it.
Similar Trail: Grizzly road on deer creek canyon about 2 miles up on the right.

There are three different areas of this same trail that have not yet been connected. Once the three trails are connected (In Aug. '08?) there will be a decent length loop available with varying difficulties and single-tracks. The trail will take you from the west-most edge of Highlands Ranch "ridge", east to Wildcat Ridge and than south to the east-most ridge in Lone Tree. Or so "they" say.

This is a fun trail with a nice little climb at the begining. This trail is definetly longer than 1 mile, if you include the climb up and descent back down, it is probably about 5 miles long. HRCA is planing on lengthening the gravel road part so that should make it even better. The single track starts on the left side, near the top of the climb, ignore the first one and take a left on the second. It's just my preference, but I beleive it is the best direction to ride it. The only problem with this trail is that it is technically for Highlands Ranch residents but there is really no way to tell if you are or not. But, really this ride is nothing special, it has a few fun parts, but if you are out on a ride you should go out to a reall trail, not just a little community trail.
