From the top, a winding, mostly gentle climb around Fossil Hill takes you to beautiful meadows full of wildflowers, gorgeous views of the high country, many optional dirt and limestone features, and an exciting steep section. Brewers is probably the best trail in the area as a whole.

      Top to bottom Brewers Trail Shuttle ride. Upper Brewers is relatively cross country, with lots of whoops...

      The entire Brewers and Enchanted forest trails are absolutely incredible! First time rode it and was blown away with the variety of terrain - from tech to tech flow to flow to wide open rippin' - upper Brewers is absolutely awesome as a two way trail, with plenty of sight lines and soooo much fun both ways!!

      A gem of a trail. Kudos to the trail builders and maintainers. We went into the ride expecting a not very interesting backcountry trail full of horse poop and mainly used by hikers but found what seems to be purpose built mtb singletrack.
      This trail is great for cross country riders. The top meanders for miles with some mild climbs and occasional rock gardens and great views. As you get closer to the final descent, the trail does get a bit more climby and technical in sections and the views get even better. The trail just keeps going and going. This is an entertaining trail for expert riders and a challenging epic trail for intermediate riders IMO.

      We started at the base and climbed all the way up on the road, past the first trail crossing, to the meadow reservoir and started the trail from the very beginning. The climbing is easy but takes a while.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
