Description: Exit the Fraser Valley Center and turn left, after you tavel under the bridge take a right. When this road arrives at a T-intersection cross the road and look for a singletrack trail called Givello. At about 4.5 miles the trail splits go right then right again onto Northwest Passage. On this section there are a lot of random roads so just stay on what looks like the trail and you will soon dump out onto a road (CR 50). Turn left and follow this road for about 3.5 miles when there is a trail to left (Tipperary Creek) and start the climb. Pass the backscratch trail and cross the creek. The climb will soon become easier and then after about a mile you will start descending. At the end of the Spurce Creek Trail bear right and then immediatly left. Cross over the creek and then turn left on the flume trail. At the end of the Flume Trail turn right onto the Chainsaw trail. Pass the Zoom Trail and then left onto Elk Creek Road. Follow this road back to the Fraer Valley Center and your car.

Overgrown doubletrack with climbing. Scenery is sweet, not a mountain biking trail.
Similar Trail: Ask the locals about the social trails, much better riding. Only rated blue for the climbs.

Steady flat slow accent up roads to the tippery creek trailhead. Very nice warm up. Start with a slow steady climb on the trail which can be challenging, but doable. Start with tipperycreek (mostly all up for about 3.5-4miles. Connect to spruce creek (very fun section), down flume(fast downhill) to chainsaw, and then up a road to sunken bridges, then connect to zoom and down, which eventually leaves you out back at Elm Meadow rode, where you fly back down to Fraser. Besides the beginning on the roads, the rest is all singletrack, and one of my favorite rides in Colorado.
Similar Trail: Hermosa Creek (much harder trail)
