This 6-mile singletrack loop blends flowy descents with moderate climbs through pine forest and granite terrain. Expect banked turns, mogul-style drops, and loose sandy gravel that rides best after rain. Climbs via High Drive or Buckhorn Trail are manageable thanks to packed dirt.
Riders praise the mix of speed and tech: "fast, mostly flowy... fun and challenging." Staging is available off Gold Camp Road with minimal services; no camping allowed. A Colorado OHV sticker and spark arrestor are required. Best for dirt bikes only, this trail shines from spring through fall--perfect for a full-day adventure with nearby routes like Penrose.Dirt Bike Trail System
