Wow, great new trail that opened on August 31, 2018 that connects Jones Park Trail to the Barr Trail on the east slopes of Pikes Peak. This trail has been 20 years in the making. Finally, you can now pedal from Frosty Park on FR 379 across Forester's Cutoff Trail to Jones Park to the Barr Trail and banzai down to Manitou. Or you can start just off of PP Highway on the Elk Park trail and work your way south and east all the way down to the Ridgeway Trailhead in Stratton or the La Veta Trailhead. AWESOME. It makes the east side of Pikes Peak much more adventuresome. It is a well-constructed singletrack trail with bikers in mind and has an upper elevation of 10,310' and a lower of 9630'. If you do the ride from Elk Park down to the Ridgeway Trailhead in Stratton, you are descending from 11,835' to 6245'. NICE. The actual amount of descending is 6750' and ascending is 1170'.

Have fun getting there. You can pick up the northern trailhead off of Mountain View Trail about a quarter mile in (south) from the Barr Trail. Mountain View Trail starts about a 1/2 mile below Elk Park Trail. Or you can start on the southern trailhead which begins off of the Jones Park Trail about 0.2 mi from the top.
