Antelope is a fun trail both climbing and descending. This trail is mostly used as an alternative to climbing or descending the very technical Lower Bitterbrush trail and can be used to access the upper parts of Hall ranch. Expect fun twisty singletrack, tacky red dirt, and a few small, technical rock features. Watch your speed on the descent as most of the corners are blind and this is a multi-directional trail

Disclaimer

The trailhead on Apple Valley road is very small - expect to park elsewhere if riding on Weekends. Lyons has ample parking and the ride from Lyons to the Trailhead is a nice warmup.

      Tight turns with extended rock gardens make this a tricky climb and descent. Be prepared to stop; some of the turns are blind. This section has a unique feel to it that's much techier than the rest of the trail system. Check out my youtube video on the trail if you want to see video of the trail! https://youtu.be/aVmrf4V97oc

      Lots of traffic during peak hours both up and down - keep your speed in check on the downhill as a good bit of it is blind.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
