Trail Funpak
Several options to cut out mid way to just session the top. Three small jumps great for people new to jumping. Then the log jump is really smooth takeoff with a decent landing.

Fun trail and a good warmup for Wudchuk. Signage is aging (June 21) but you can't get too lost. Swope Park is worth a stop if you're traveling through on I-70.

Trail High Line
The first 500M of the high line is a solid return route to ride up to the top of Flowride again and again

Super, super flowy! Lots of options to pump. Also someone has recently did some weed eating and trimming allowing for a nice wide and open trail. Thanks to whoever deserves the credit!

Pretty fun drop offs here and there’s a fun drop off that goes over an abandoned car on the trail that’s a lot of fun too. There’s some technical Rocky sections to approach the fun drop off area but over all lot of fun.

Trail Basement
Basement trail is a fun way to get to the High Line Express and Flow Trail. I find it to be the perfect warm up en route to a great time at Burp!

Trail Wagon
Wagon Loop is fun and challenging in either direction. I got caught out in a rain storm last time I was out and that added to the complexity Smile I love how Burp has different kinds of riding on many of these trails. Wagon Loop is more technical stepping and rock navigation than other areas, and probably a little less climbing and descending, but still a blast!

Trail Stonewall
Absolutely love this trail! The progressive drops as you descend back to the trail head are so well laid out, and it's neat seeing the stones stacked up to resemble a wall in a few different spots. Love what they are doing at Burp, keep up the good work!
