TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

I tried to ride this (2010-07-17) and found the trail closed because they are paving. Apparently, they are going to pave the route all the way to Loveland. Might be a fun bike path to tow the kids on, but it will no longer be soft surface.

I had forgotten how much fun it is to ride down this trail. If you do it as a shuttle you can start on Loveland Pass at the switchback top of lift #3 This is a great training ride 24 mi. from Georgetown about 50 from I.S.
