Fun easy ride in the trees, I got about 300ft of elevation in one lap on Strava. Lots of hikers and dog walkers also patrolled often by JEFFCO.

This loop is great for beginners or after an injury or if you just want a fun chill short ride. Enough to keep it interesting but not very intimidating, there are a couple of challenging spots for beginners but very manageable. Parking can be difficult on the weekends and nice bathrooms at the main trail head.

Great ride at elevation and was able to clock 3 laps. Some fun descents, a few things to pop some air over and a few creek crossings.
