Review: After the high winds this week, there are many downed trees past Interlaken.

Review: Great loop for intermediate riders. There's virtually no elevation change around the entire loop. Ride it clock-wise starting at the dam at the east side of the lakes. When you get to the far west end of the west lake, go right and you get to cross the a stream. You'll have to look a little to find the trail on the other side. Follow that right to the town of Twin Lakes. Ride the road back east for a mile and jump down onto the single-track that follows the lake back to where you started.

Review: Fun, easy trail with some great views. Started at the CDT trailhead on CR 25 off CO 82. About a mile in there's a sign for the Colorado Trail that switches back and climbs toward Clear Creek Reservoir. Avoid this and stay low for the Twin Lakes Loop. The trail is pretty straight forward with fun short hills, technically easy, and fairly smooth riding. Creek crossing can be tricky during high water. After crossing Lake Creek on a grassy double track, I joined back up with CO 82 until the Colorado Trail reemerged on the right of the road past the town of twin lakes. The trail will put you back onto CR 25 and back to your car.

Review: Real Good trail, takes in portion of the Colorado trail on the eastern part. Start at Twin lakes(town) and ride clockwise over the dam thru interlaken resort and up valley to gauging station bridge and short road ride back to T.L.

Review: Great trail. Starts fast (12-15 mph) on the North side of the lakes. Around Back you get into some wooded slightly technical single track until the you reach the old sanitorium town of Inter Laken. After the town come the stream crossings and some short technical uphill sections. I walked a couple. The descent back to the road is fast and technical. Be careful, if you have to bail you will fall down a slope and if the trees don't stop you the beaver pond will. At the end of the trail is a washed out bridge that you are not supposed to cross. Instead carry your bike across the river and hope it is not running too high.

Similar Trail: Monarch Crest to Marshall Pass out and back.

Review: Great day trail to ride. Lots of campgrounds in the area. Lake is HUGE and a great place to go. Some parts of the trail branch off up the pass, but later down much of it has been washed away by a flash flood.
