Description
This trail has miles of amazing single track but you will have to do a technical climb to get to the sweet loop trails at the top of red hill. It’s worth every once of energy you have to get into this amazing network. The view of the Roaring Fork Valley and Mt. Sopis are awesome.

Review: This is a hugely entertaining trail network. The map in the photos shows Blue Ribbon as blue, but it's more like black n' blue. The combination of sustained grade and technical moves will challenge most anyone. Still, it's the easiest way up. Once up top, there are a number of roller coaster loops or extended descents and climbs to keep you entertained. The descent on the west side of Blue Ribbon is not to be missed! (if you don't mind a sizable drop or two and some tight switchbacks)

Review: This is a fantastic trail network. Rode here again this week and is becoming the local ride until the snow melts in the mountains. Great technical climb up Three Gulch trail to Bogus to Elk Traverse to Northside Loop. Counter-clockwise seems to have more flow than the other direction. Outer Loop is a fun trail to add a little more distance to the ride. Then retracked back down to car. Get an early start on weekends, as the way up is heavily used by all.

Review: Tough climb up Three Gulch with really rewarding singletrack at first plateau. Blue Ribbon, Faerie, Bogus - all rolling singletrack with not much climbing. First timers should bring a map/plan out their route. BE READY FOR MULTI-USE on the CLIMB!

Review: Fantastic trail network. Kudos to those that engineered this great ride. Up Three Gulch to Blue Ribbon (r) to Bogus (r) to Elk Travese to Jct. w/ Northside Loop. Take No. side Loop in clockwise direcetion for faster more fun descent. Can also be ridden other direction. Return same way to Bogus/Elk Traverse intersection. Option 1: return same route. Option 2: Take Faerie Trail on the right up to Blue Ribbon (r) onto Skeetrers Ridge up to Mushroom Rock down Rollercoaster to familiar terrain back DOWN to the parking area. EPIC!.
