Land Owner
A fun easy trail with nice views of the front range, Blue Stem Prairie Open Space was reworked in 2019. The stem of the lollypop is an existing 2 track but most of the loop is newly constructed singletrack. Big Johnson Reservoir is a prime bird watching amenity, and you might see antelope and other wildlife in this wide-open space. The trail dries out early - a good choice for beginner riders or for when it's too icy in other parts of C.Springs.
