Multiple trails forming two main loops. Mostly smooth singletrack with some rock sections. Ponderosa and Silver Fox are fun but stay away from this park on the weekends unless you plan to go early in the morning.

Review Date January 5, 2012 Overall Rating 5 of 5 Aerobic Difficulty 4 of 5 Technical Difficulty 4 of 5 Ridden Trail: Once a month Rate this review?		Reviewed by: TrailMeat , Weekend Warrior Summary: This is a great park. Has something for all levels of riders. I like to start in Dedisse Park ride the Dedisse trail over to three sisters and make my way to the summit of Evergreen Mtn decend down East Evergreen Mtn Trail for some fun high speed action then back to Dedisse hitting trails in 3 sisters along the way. If you are up for a longer ride, I like to ride up to Bergen from Dedisse and then up my previous route back to Dedisse. Recommended Route: There are too many to mention. You can ride around all day at this park there are so many trails. Other recommended trails in the same area: Bergen Peak Lair O Bear Mount Falcon Would you like to Comment?

Review Date September 5, 2011 Overall Rating 4 of 5 Aerobic Difficulty 3 of 5 Technical Difficulty 2 of 5 Ridden Trail: Every few months Rate this review?		Reviewed by: chazamis , Cross Country Rider Summary: Got to ride through 3 sisters on Memorial Day, 2011. Busy in the parking lot, plenty of time to myself once I got on the trail. Occasionally stopping for the avid cyclist bombing downhill, I found myself continually impressed by this trail. I can honestly say I hadn't mountain biked in Colorado until I did this trail, it sums up everything that the front range has to offer in terms of flowy singletrack. Recommended Route: Head straight for the summit, then bomb down to the Bearberry trail and check out some gorgeous mountain meadows. Would you like to Comment?

Reviewed by: steelworx , Weekend Warrior Summary: Great singletrack with some technical sections, but most have alt routes you can take to tone ride down. Fun does not begin to describe this trail. Water bars and rocks add some difficulty but nothing too knarly. Switchbacks bigtime back down. Recommended Route: We started at the high trailhead and rode CW I believe. Would you like to Comment?

Review Date May 27, 2007 Overall Rating 4 of 5 Aerobic Difficulty 3 of 5 Technical Difficulty 4 of 5 Ridden Trail: Once a month Rate this review?		Reviewed by: ianplummer , Weekend Warrior Summary: I really love this trail. I agree with the last review. This trail can be technical depending on the route you take. When you come down the Sisters trail some of the switch backs envolved are very tight. There are also some sections of this trail that requires a ride over three to four foot rocks or small cliffs. This trail is not technical if you stick to some of the extremity trails. A friend of mine and myself did this loop three time today we were having so much fun. Recommended Route: From the parking lot on Buffalo Park Road, take the sisters trail up a little ways, hang a left on Ponderosa trail, hang a right on Sister trail and loop back to the Ponderosa trail. Repeat several times. This loop only takes a little while but it is a blast. Would you like to Comment? Join MTBR for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Reviewed by: lusdawg , Cross Country Rider Summary: I keep reading that this trail is for beginner to intermediate riders only ... well, I disagree. I don't think that these people have taken the "Sisters Trail". This trail is immensely technical if you start from the lower parking lot and do the Sisters Trail loop. You'll definitely get an anaerobic workout in this trail loop with all the rocks, roots, waterbars, and technical switchbacks during climbs. Overall, Alderfer/3 Sisters has a little bit of everything. Not only does it have the technical Sisters Trail, but it also has the East and West Evergreen trails that you can take to the top for a nice, steady climb that is technical in spots. I believe that 3 Sisters has sections for all levels, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or expert rider. I would not consider my self an expert rider, but I am definitely a strong intermediate with knowledge enough to know that the previous reviewers must not have ridden the Sisters Trail itself. Recommended Route: From the lower lot, climb the Sisters Trail and then explore the area. Check out Brothers, Ponderosa, Hidden Fawn, and the others. Then make your way across the street for a long-ish climb up the West or East Evergreen Trail all the way to the top for a fantastic view and a moderately aerobic workout. Other recommended trails in the same area: Elk Meadow, White Ranch, Mount Falcon, Lair O' the Bear Would you like to Comment? Join MTBR for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.
