Description: 6.5 miles out and 6.5 miles back, this trail is a load of fun! Some super flowy, fast downhills with tacky dirt so you can just rail the turns, some decently technical climbs, this section of trail is a totally awesome ride! It starts at the top of Kenosha Pass, follows the Colorado trail, and turns around at the Lost Creek wilderness boundary (not Georgia pass. Start on the other side of 285 for that.) Enjoy!

This is a great section of singletrack with some cool sections in the aspens, a couple of great rock gardens, some awesome descents, and incredible views! The only strike against this ride is that it's not all that long. While most of the other reviewers only gave this trail 4 stars, I am giving it 5. Maybe compared to some other Colorado trails it's 4 stars, but I had so much fun riding this trail it's difficult to dock it any points!

This trail is really nothing special, but, has some definite fun stretches, a few big views, some cool aspen tunnels and I didn't see another biker. Worth a ride.

Very scenic ride, although just over an hour and a half from Denver makes it a bit of a pain to go to. Even though it's 13 miles, it felt like it ended to soon. Going out was very fast, a lot of downhill, so of course coming back was slow going uphill most of the time. Not very technical aside from random rocks in the middle of the trail to watch out for, one particularly rocky/steep section, and some very narrow/fast sections.
Similar Trail: Sourdough Trail: North of Nederland, has very similar terrain, more technical in some areas, and much closer at least for us in the North/West Denver Metro area(Broomfield)

This is a great, usually overlooked ride. It provides an alternative to its more famous brother across the highway that leads to Georgia Pass. It is a good alternative for 3 reasons: 1. If you don't have the time/fitness for the longer ride. 2. If you want to escape the crowds across the road. 3. If you've done the other a dozen times and want to do something new. The scenery is fantastic, the singletrack fine and the climb long, steady and very rideable. It is, however, at high altitude, so some fitness is required.
