Mountain Biking Wathen Trail

*****   Add a review
#199 of 1,366 mountain bike trails in Colorado
#1,508 in the world

Wathen is an awesome singletrack that offers a technical challenge for even the most experienced mountain biker. This is just one of many trails that are clearly marked in the Horsetooth Park 10 minutes from downtown Fort Collins. To access the trailhead, proceed up the service road (dirt and closed to traffic) and follow this for approx 2 miles up the mountain. At this point the road ends and you can either loop back by turning right or turn left and continue up the ridge another 150 feet where you will intersect the Waltham trail. If you stay on the Waltham trail it will eventually loop back and drop you back on the service road you road up where you can either bomb down the road or take the really sweet technical singletrack that is next to the sitting bench .75 miles up the access road. This singletrack has multiple man made stairs that makes for a great way to end the ride!

Getting there
From I-25 traveling north from Denver to Fort Collins, take the E. Harmony exit (west) and travel for 3-4 miles until you come to South Taft. Turn right on So. Taft and drive a short distance until you intersect 38E. Turn left on 38E and drive up around Horsetooth Lake until you come to Horsetooth Park. Park in the parking lot on the right, but make sure you have a day pass.
