This trail was one of the first re-routes conducted by the Boulder Mountainbike Alliance to pull the trail away from private land and was recently extended to connect with Aspen Alley Trail near P2P parking area.

To access Re-Root from the trailhead at the Peak to Peak Highway and Magnolia Rd, start climbing Aspen Alley Trail #342A and take the left at the fork 0.1 miles in. After a quarter of a mile, the trail crosses Haul Rd and continues for nearly two miles of winding singletrack interspersed with technical alternative lines.

There are about a half dozen alternate technical features along this stretch of trails - some of which are extremely challenging. There is always a ride around, but this is a good place to work on skills progression or introduce a less skilled rider to technical lines. A great trail to link together with the newly reworked Aspen Alley, Whoop-Di-Dos, Lookout, and others to form a really sweet single track loop showcasing some truly progressive trail design (for the Colorado Front Range anyway).

      A solid intermediate trail with black optional lines. The hardest option/feature is "Sams Club" which has entry point that is easy to miss. There is a medium sized rock that you have to ride onto that drops straight into about 20ft or so of steep-ish chunk that is best ridden with a little bit of speed. The regular trail is great and rolls along with punchy but not steep ups/downs, berms, and corners. It rides well in either direction and is a great way to start or end a West Mag ride.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
