      The proper way to get back up top after going down the amazing Vista trail. This is a slog uphill, but you somehow have to pay for the right of the splendid descent. Also, it’s pretty straightforward and not technical, though it is a relatively rough road. Easier, faster, more direct than heading up Vista, plus you won’t ruin the downhill fun of those on Vista by getting in the way since you can take this instead. Plus, there’s a challenge: see if you can do this whole trail without walking the bike at all! Finally, though I haven’t done this trail downhill, I guess you could but you’ll probably end up braking a lot and with Vista the better option why would you? Maybe if you’re training for Leadville?

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
