Land Owner
Betasso Link is a hard climb with very steep grades from the start on usually very dusty and loose rock. Pretty much all but the best are going to hike a bike for a little bit. The top mellow out in grade but still very flowy with some rocks. Down is a blast. Flowy up top and it gets rockier and steeper as you go. Definitely recommend hitting it up if near Boulder.
The Betasso Link trail s not closed to bikes on Wednesdays and Saturdays like the rest of Betasso Preserve. If you choose to ride on these days, please respect the trail closures on the rest of the system.
Access Info
Easy to access. Go into Boulder Canyon about 5 miles and the parking lot is on the right hand side, right before the tunnel. (This is coming from Boulder).
