Description: Amazing singletrack, killer views, and lung busting elevation - what more could you ask for? Portions of the Colorado Trail are off limits to bikes so you'll need to detour around each of the 6 designated wilderness areas. Many day trip routes are available and connecting trails abound.

Every section I've ridden has been worthwhile. Scenic, fun, epic, it's all you could want. Too bad the entire length passses through 7 Wilderness areas. I've hikeds some of them and we're missing out on some really good stuff there.

Im sure its a great trail and we were so excited to ride it today and when we got to the parking lot off Hwy 121 it was closed. Would have been great to know that:(

How can you even begin to review the Colorado Trail? Well first off, while I've ridden several sections of it, I've not NEARLY ridden the whole thing. But the parts I have ridden have been amazing! Great flow, great construction, pretty smooth for the most part. Just a ton of fun!

Tennessee Pass, outside Leadville. Wow...what a great section of trail. Woohoo's the entire trail, even when I hit a rock and pinched my tire. Smiled for days afterwards. Very fun downhill, not very technical, but watch for the unexpected or you will go down. Dark shady sections with lots of pine needles crunching under your tires. From the Pass the Camp Hale was about 7 miles of very fast downhill with just a little uphill. Very worth the time to try this trail.
