• B Street Trails in Colorado Springs, Colorado
This network of trails are really ATV/moto/4x4 trails, but there are MTB users there as well. But because of the nature of the ground here, and the dirt-bikes, the trails are usually pretty sandy and gravelly.
This however doesn\'t preclude a good MTB experience. At the top of the hill,...

• Heiser To Barr Trail in Colorado Springs, Colorado
A very hard uphill walk "5.6 miles" to Manitou Resivouir and then down to Barr Trail. This is not a
easy trek! 14 mile round trip, it's best to get a ride up to Cascade then ride down.

This place has a great combination of fast trails and technical sections. At times the trail is a bit wide but this allows for more speed and greater air on the jumps. Some of the hills offer great technical practice. This place is great.
