Cross Country Rider Summary:
I like this trail as part of a loop which can add variety and distance. Singel track in good shape, nice consistent 1 mile climb. Well worth it to access Captain Jack's as a downhill. Recommended Route:
Gold Camp road tp Buckhorn

Weekend Warrior Summary:
Not a bad little trail. A good, consistent climb which you can then link with a whole network of other, more interesting trails in the canyon. Some parts are unpleasantly sandy and others can be disturbingly off-camber.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
this trail is the best I have ridden buckhorn is a great cardio workout and jacks is awsome downhill. the only draw back is the motorcycles. They tear up the trail and never yeild to cyclist. The trail would be in alot better shape if it wasn't for the gearheads. Buckhorns is supposed to be of limits for motorcycles but they still use it. When you first turn of into the singletrack onto buckhorns ther is a huge rock that is a real momentum killer if you clean this your good. The rest of buckhorns is pretty clear. Be careful of the loose skee on the downhill section of buckhorns, another gift from the moto guys. This trail gives you alot of downhill for little climbing. Always an epic ride. Recommended Route:
park at first parking lot heading west on gold camp road an ride gold camp past the high drive parking lot to buck horns. Local bike shops have great maps of the area. Other recommended trails in the same area:
anything in palmer park, barr trail if you want a good climbing workout.

, from Keystone CO Summary:
This trail is a nice quick little loop. It has a pretty steep climb if your on a heavy bike, but just nice if your on a xc. Jacks is great, you can carry a ton of speed through a lot of sections. Just watch it on weekends and listen for fast dirt bikers coming up hill. Other recommended trails in the same area:
yes, yes I can

, from Dalton, Mass. Summary:
I am out here for 2 weeks, and so far this is one of my favorite trails. I did it backwards the first time, going up Lower Gold camp to the bottom of the trail. Nice climb, long, somewhat loose, but very nice, rewarding at the end, views, and then ride back down. Ride with someone that knows the trails, however, as it is easy to get lost out here. Enjoy most of all! Recommended Route:
Up High Drive road, down to the lower lot, and then up Buckhorn, and down Capt. Jacks to Lower Gold Camp Rd. to the big rock parking lot about half way down, down the Chutes, then out to the road and back to Lower Gold Camp road. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Palmer's Trail, The Chutes, Section 16, The Barr Trails, Palmer Park....anything
