Poison Canyon Downhill Loop route

Fishers Peak State park will eventually offer 70+ miles of trail and mountain biking is already taking the spotlight with this one-way directional MTB descent. After a mellow climb, you get about 2 miles of fun and occasionally challenging descending stacked with features and alternate lines.

From the parking lot, roll out about a tenth of a mile on the Challenge Trail before taking a right on Lower Lone Cub. It's a pretty easy climb that switchbacks through the woods with some nice views and rockwork.

Just under 2 miles in you'll reach the intersection for Poison Canyon downhill MTB trail. The first portion is chill, but as soon as you hit the first big left-turning berm, prepare yourself. While everything is rollable, there are some technical sections and alternate lines that have black-level features alongside some exposure to the cliff face.

Shortly after that first big berm, look to your left for a B-line with two drop options. You'll hit a large section of slickrock -- stay left for a more technical line or stay right for the easy line. Both dump into big berms. After this, there is a rocky section of switches with a couple moderately technical moves required; then when you pop out parallel to the highway, it's time for a bike-park style rollercoaster with steep berms and a few tabletops. Finally you'll spit out back onto the entrance road.
