Mountain Biking Sundance Trail
#557 of 1,368 mountain bike trails in Colorado
This trail runs along the west shore of Carter Lake. The beginning of the trail is graded for wheelchair access. After that, the trail turns into a hot, rocky brute. There is no serious climbing, the trail is mostly flat, and incessantly rocky. It's hard to maintain speed, which would help get over the rocks. A test of your bike handling skills. Might be easier on a hard tail. There are some trees, but it still gets supprisingly hot in the summer.

Turn left (west) onto County Road 8E and continue for 3 miles. Stop at the entrance station to purchase Park Entrance Permits, Follow County Road 8E west to the intersection about halfway up the hill.

There is no parking at the North end of the South Shore Campground anymore, so park at the first big lot and head north.
