Description
Birch Creek is a beautiful canyon with a juniper woodland, aspen groves, and

numerous springs. The drop is a great descent, but get ready to climb out through

Birch Creek Canyon on an old pack trail. A mine at the top of Birch Creek marks

the end of the long climbs.



A fast descent through several switchbacks leads to the return trail. Watch for

the right turn at the lower edge of the junipers. The return can be fast, especially

with a south wind. The trail contours along the mountain fron with short climbs at

Crow Canyon and Fandango Hill. The winding mine road near Stokes Castle is fast

and fun. End with a short climb to downtown.



Alternative: An out and back alon the return trail of the Gold Venture Loop can

be great ride for all levels. It has a few climbs but is mostly fas and winding. A

good trail for speed work.



Any questions pm me.
