DescriptionSuper easy singletrack with a couple of very short challenging sections. Very possibly the best beginner's trail on the Front Range and just a lovely little park. Going clockwise on the Shadow Pine loop, the downhill section just seems to feel longer than what you earned on your climb. Adrenaline junkies should go past the first entrance and then go past the second entrance and then just keep driving until you find a different ride.

I'll go back again someday with my wife; I'm sure she'll love it.
Nothing at all wrong with it; good trail surface, nice forest, some cool bridges and raised trail sections. And a couple tricky rock sections for beginners (I actually dropped a foot in an awkward spot...).
More interesting than some of the other rookie trails like Bear Creek Lake, Flatiron Vista, Hildebrand Ranch, etc... The only other rookie trail as good as this one [that I've ridden] is Dawson's Butte in Castle Rock.
LOTS of walkers, even on a Wednesday in December...
