      Great trail with a short technical high speed descent. Go at 5am on a weekday if you wanna rip it like all the cry babies in the comments. Area is extremely popular with hikers on the weekends

      Is there ANY trail this close to Denver that you can actually rip? The descent is a blast even if you can’t go full throttle, and the climb out is challenging and rad with a nice position high above Turkey Creek Canyon. And if you started in Morrison (or shuttled - for shame!) you still get the righteous Castle descent afterwards. Gotta appreciate it for what it is.

      Rocky and rooty in spots but overall a mediocre descent when ridden from north to south. Seemed like it was over way too quick and its back to the pedaling. Lots of blind corners means you cant really rip when you know how crowded these trail get.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
