TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

This is a technical climb and downhill with a few sharp switchbacks. Very fun short ride, I ride it after work mostly. Lots of traffic on the trail so blasting the downhill is hard to accomplish, but it still rocks at a good pace.

Jake and Brandon are mis-informed. This is NOT the "A" Trail, nor is it closed. The "A" Trail was the best and most challenging trail in northern Colorado. I loved it... drop-offs etc. it was great. It got too eroded, so they closed it. You can't even get close anymore. However, Maxwell is the next best thing nearby. They have done work on it in the last couple years, making it easier (boo!), but it is still a challenge. Follow the loop in the previous review to Michaud Trail. For more challenge, add the loop at the top of Michaud and ride back to decend Maxwell. Beware of snakes, dogs, horses and joggers. They all have the right-of-way!

This is a quality trail that is highly accessible. Right on the edge of town, it provides enough climb and technical challenge to be entertaining, but not so much as to scare most folks away. I talso offers reasonable hookups to other, longer rides. This is a great place to bring someone looking to improve MTB skills and have fun in the process.

Absolutley great ride, loved the trails. You can enter from the end of horsetooth road as well. Once you get in the meadow you can just pick random trails and enjoy. We like to ride around the lake a couple times about a 1.75 mile RT but well worth it and fun. ENJOY!
