This is my favorite way to train for climbs in Cheyenne Canyon but still enjoy downhill.
13 miles • 2,347 ft • 12 •
Big, technical climb worth it for a classic downhill.
15 miles • 2,333 ft • 27 • Loop •
The easiest way to do the entire Jacks loop and have fun

Great scenery. Trail ok near top. Gets bad nearer bittom from hikers. They hike up a little then turn around so just lower bliwn out. Expect wide trail and deep footprints in the kitty litter. No point to climb. Wont b fun. Decent trail down, but not the quality trail u get from just bikes using it.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
