Mountain Biking I-35
#703 of 1,368 mountain bike trails in Colorado
This is legit downhill/freeride terrain. The trail plummets at extreme grades with big drops in sketchy tight woods, and major gap jumps, one measuring a full 30 feet. The big gaps have ride arounds, but this is still tough terrain given the extreme grade and loose gravelly surface. Definitely not for the faint of heart, even with the ride arounds.
About a third of the way down, the trail crosses Gold Camp Road--simply merge downhill onto the road and look for the next singletrack on the right to rejoin I-35.
There are a couple forks with parallel trails. All are pretty much equally sketchy.
The climb back up to the car on Old Stage Road is washboardy and often steep. Not a lot of fun if you're on a serious DH bike. Many will shuttle this one.

From the start of Old Stage Road in Colorado Springs (near the Zoo), proceed up Old Stage to where it merges with Gold Camp Road (about 7 miles). Park in the lot at the merge and proceed down hill on Gold Camp Road to an ugly basin on the left, about a quarter mile, and look for a singletrack on the left side of the road on the NE corner of the basin. This is the entrance to the I-35 trail. Two miles down, and then climb back up Old Stage Road approx. 3 miles to the parking area.
