Description
NOTE: There is an annual closure of this trail for elk calving from May 15th - June 20th. This is just a blazing trail. I prefer to access this trail from Owl Creek Rd. TH. A gradual climb on perfect singletrack gets it started. The trail traverses E/W and begins to roll through groves of aspen. This very narrow trail rips along with fantastic flow and does require some navagation through a residential neighborhood. There are signs to lead you to the next section. The trail ends at the Snowmass Village Mall.

Review: Fun intermediate singletrack, some pavement involved; easily connected from Powerline Trail or Valhalla near their intersection.

Review: You can link this trail to others in Snowmass Village, and if your lungs/legs are up to it, ride the road 2-3 miles back to the Village when your done for a great 18-20 mile loop with 3500+ feet of elevation gain at alpine altitudes. Bring about 100 oz of water if you do this. This trail is best ridden in the summer/fall and is closed in the winter/spring for obvious reasons...powder! The initial climb is non technical, but a booger and a 'warm up' for the flowing, often rocket speed, single track at the top. The views from the summits are amazing. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a workout and beautiful ride on a well maintained trail. Note: there is a marker in the middle of the trail that points left for 'experts only'. They are not kidding. It is a legburner uphill, and a steep downhill with loose scree just waiting to chop your knees and elbows up. Go right at the sign (the non expert route) and you will still have a great workout.
