Black Diamond. Cross Country riders and Down hill riders (except down hillers cannot exit at the bottom anymore (fenced off) and will have to either ride back up or exit to the east halfway back up the Canyon)

Summary:
Anybody that says that this area is closed is trying to keep others out. I've been riding in there since 1990 and NO, IT'S NOT CLOSED & NOBODY HAS BEEN TOWED OR ARRESTED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. In fact, I'm hoping that some cross-country types will ride in there so I don't have to work so hard to keep my trails working. The down-hillers don't care about my trails, as they just go straight off the rocks anyway, so why should I care if they get "over crouded".

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Sage Ranch. Short loop for the experienced cross-country rider. but fun never the less

Summary:
Woosley Canyon is closed, and this time it looks like for good! There will be a huge housing development going in, and the developer is always hanging out on weekends and in the afternoons. Just last Saturday he had a few trucks, riders and hikers, towed and made sure that the local police issued tickets for riding on private land. Since there are about 25 signs posted now, no one really has a leg to stand on when the police do show up, and for some reason they have been showing within about 15 minutes of being called--scary! The developer is a real prick...

Sadly, this place could have been kept alive for a little bit longer; if so many people didn't post pictures and give directions on the internet--thanks! Some people just don't quite get it...

Lastly, I did met up with the fool with the shot gun, luckily he was driving his truck at the time--he just yelled out a nice death threat and left--luckily.

Recommended Route:
None

I'm sure someone will post a spot on the internet for everyone to ride!

Summary:
A message to any landowners that read this forum...
I ride with this trail and have rode it years before your transplanted out of state asses moved in, and I ride ALWAYS with two weapons. Find me and threaten me with your false laws and shotguns and you'll be regretting it. I promiss you this. Also, until you post signs stating that you'll tow and you have the write by county code...and you do tow someone, you're in state violation, and in line to be sued. Look it up, dumbasses...my uncle is a state attourney.

Recommended Route:
whatever, Roscoe

Other recommended trails in the same area:
all n any

Summary:
Great trail, lots of fun. I used to ride this trail years ago before I relocated to Durango from my home in Chatsworth. The drops are nice and the the technical aspects make for some enjoyable riding. This trail is open as I discovered while in town visting my dropping gen X er brother in law. I have some locals R and D riders testing my companies new bikes down this trail at break neck speed, very little chance of encounters with trail users as this trail is seldom used (Very remote). I one modal designed especially for this type of trail riding.

Recommended Route:
Park on Roscoe at the end where it meets valley circle and head up dirt woolsey until you reach the top at paved woolsey, Take woolsey up to the point of sage park and the top of Black Canyon, divert onto the North American cutoff trail until it exits at Box Canyon. Go down the paved Box until you reach Santa Susana road east to Rocky Peak, go up the Peak and down Johnson Motorway to Indian Hills estates and venture back to the pass through Box Canyon to you starting point of Roscoe. Tell him the "Great One" John Tomac told ya.........

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Most every trail in Southwest Colorado.

Reviewed by: matt , from o.c.

Summary:
the jumps are lame, if you are into two foot so-called doubles there are a lot of them and you might find this fun. the push to the top sucks, do not park at the top of the hill!!! I did and MY CAR WAS SABBOTAGED. did not see any crazy land owners but there is a lot of hikers with dogs and no leash, be very careful, the dogs get freaked out. BOTTOM LINE: not worth the drive if you do find yourself in that area go over to kanan rd. and ride suicide that one is worth the hike.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
