This is a 13.5 mile backcountry loop through beautiful mixed conifer forests linking together Dodgeton Creek, Indian Creek and Baker Creek trails. The tread is mostly double-track, but there is also some significant amount of nice singletrack. The route has its fair share of rocks and roots and nice views of the Sangre de Cristo range. Either way you ride it, it is mostly uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back. Riding counterclockwise, you climb for about 7.5 miles on double-track followed by 6 miles of downhill on both doubletrack and singletrack on the way back. Riding clockwise, you climb about 6 miles followed by 7.5 miles of downhill. In this direction you encounter one 1.3 mile sustained challenging climb along with a few moderate to difficult climbs. Riding counterclockwise there are several moderate to difficult climbs. The maximum grade is 30% or more, so there are definitely some difficult punchy spots to get over.
