Awesome! Long, sandy in spots, fast, twisting, foresty (when not burned down to the ground), confusing without a map or friend who has been there a lot before. This trail is part of Colorado Trail which extends some 400 miles from Denver to Durango. Each and every ridable section of this trail is epic in nature! I usually start at the bottom of the big hill that I mentioned above and once I reach the trail head I follow the signs for the Colorado Trail and return on a trail leading North back into Pine. This Trail dumps out on to a maintained road back into town. I wish I could be more descriptive but the maps of the park suck so bring a friend and/or ask other trail users where the trails go. That farther you get away from the parking area the less crowded the trail becomes so keep your eyes open. there are also several roads that cross the trail that if you were desperate you could take those back to the trail head or back into Pine. Have Fun!

Summary:
WOW, what a great trail. Definitely my new favorite. Rode it early on a Sunday and it was a great ride. A little sandy but not too loose. The downhills were nice and fast, the uphills weren't very hard at all. Nothing very technical, but not a beginner's level course.

Recommended Route:
Any route, it's all a great ride.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Gashouse

Summary:
This is one of the true GREAT Colorado rides! It is not difficult, but also not for the first time mountain-biker... best for intermediates. Lots of fun ups and downs, couple water crossings, fast, great views. Can do out and back or make a loop over Green Mountain. Can get crowded on the weekends... go early!

Recommended Route:
Park at Buffalo Creek Lot at top of long hill coming out of Pine...

Reviewed by: Pat , from Littleton, CO

Summary:
Nice ride. Not technical and very uphill at first up to the gashouse conncetion, then all downhill from there. Only negative is at times very sandy I do like the pea size granite though. Did the entire loop and then did baldy to the gashouse trail, lower half, and made it almost 13 miles for the day. All sorts of trails out there but heard great reviews about this section. Was more than pleased with the trail and am planning on coming back again.

Recommended Route:
see all the above reviews. FS 550 and 543 junction

Other recommended trails in the same area:
green mountain (lakewood), waterton/ Roxborough, deer creek.

Reviewed by: MTBARK , from Mena, AR

Summary:
The trail has some very fast downhills and the climbs are not really all that bad. Most of the trail I thought was smooth and rolling most of the time it felt like we were going downhill which we weren't it was a nice change of pace.

Recommended Route:
Follow Robs directions below that was the way we went and it was great.
