SaveA multi-use non-motorized (plus class 1 e-bikes) trail area just outside the town of Mancos. Beginner and intermediate trails through pinyon, juniper and sage with big views of Mesa Verde, the Sleeping Ute and the La Plata mountains. Hikers, bikers, dog walkers, horseback riders and class 1 ebikers are welcome. It is recommended that bikers follow the trails in a clockwise direction.
To ride most of the trail system as one 10.5 mile loop, start at the main (north) trailhead and head up Moonscape. Go left at every intersection except the intersections with Riprap and Bivalve, where you'll make a right. The only sections you'll ride twice will be the Separation downhill and a piece of Moonscape. You'll miss part of Evenflow, but you can always add that in for a longer ride.
Note that the Aqueduct Trail System is closed from Dec 1 - April 30 to protect wildlife habitat.
