Description: Very nice well groomed trail. Everything from beginner to very technical and advanced. If you like easy going stay closer to the river, but if you want more advanced stuff take the high road and be ready for rocky climbs and downhills.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by Bwpaulk on January 7, 2010
Blue River has something for all levels. The majority of the trails run east and west of Blue River Rd. The trails to the west are the River Trails. These are mostly flat and fast. The one exception is a section called "Little Moab". Its about a 100 yd section of rock that runs over-looking the river. The trails to the east run north and south parallel to the road. The lowest is The Basement (easiest), then Bo Ha Ca, (harder) and High Line (most difficult). Ox Bow is a connector from Blue Ridge Blvd. To the south is Serengeti, flat and fast with a creek crossing and Wagon Wheel (more difficult) but I haven't spent much time over there (it always seems to be wet). The River trials tend to hold water while Basement, Bo Ha Ca and High Line will dry out a little quicker. These 3 trails are the best that BuRP has to offer; climbs, technical, creek crossing etc. Easy access for the metro area and soon (?) will be connected to Swope Park by the great folks at Earth Riders (bless them)

Ba Ho Ca and the Basement trail are a blast. High line is a real challenge. The first time I rode it I walked the majority of the way.

There are three degrees of difficulty here. There's the lower trails which I would rate as "green." They're pretty quick paced and for the mos part follow the Blue River. Gotta look out for mud pits though since these are located in the river's flood plain. On the other side of Blue River Rd are the harder trails. These are actually marked with names. The "High Line" is marked as "black diamond." The "Bo Ho Ca," and "Basement" trails are marked as blue squares. All three of which have pretty rocky terrain with rocky climbs and fast downhills. I really like going here for an afternoon ride. Warm up on the easy trails and then have fun with the rocks on the Bo Ho Ca or Basement. Lots of fun!
