Sep 14, 2025 @ 9:21pm (America/Denver) Sep 14, 2025 | mtb Conditions were great, but this is a ROUGH ride on the way up. Be prepared to jump climb up rocky sections or you can certainly walk sections if needed, but you may be walking a LOT if you can't jump your bike uphill over rocks. Great workout for what that's worth. | Dry | view | |

Oct 15, 2017 @ 5:29pm Oct 15, 2017 | mtb Spoiler alert: This is going to be a bit of a rant, sorry. So I know we all know hikers have the right of way over bikers on the trails, and I am more than happy to yield to anyone on foot, I myself hike, and trail run, but some common courtesy and understanding from hikers could go a long way too. This rant goes out to the two self-righteous women I encountered on Upper Timber in Lory today around 3:15 pm. When you're hiking, and someone comes up behind you, whether on foot, bike, or even horse, the common courtesy is to let them pass since they are obviously moving at a quicker pace than you. We were both going uphill, I did not come up behind you quickly and spook you, I calmly rode behind you hoping you'd both eventually step to the side and kindly let me pass. I know you saw me for a while behind you since you looked at me and we went around a switchback or two in tandem. Begrudgingly, you finally let me pass, and with a haughty remark, as if to put me in my place you said, "are you aware that this is a hike only trail?" I responded that it wasn't and you asked if I was sure because you were certainly sure it was. I replied that I was, in fact, sure, and you said you "doubted it" and that you'd check with the ranger when you got back to the bottom. I didn't say anything else at the time, I just thanked you for letting me pass, said hi to your two dogs and continued on my climb. What I want to say now is, before you have an attitude of superiority, and before you accuse another trail user of some act of wrongdoing you believe they are in the middle of, be sure you are right and don't be in the middle of an act of wrongdoing yourself. What I want to say now is I wish our encounter would have been jovial, since it was such a beautiful day for an adventure in the park, and that you would have accepted that I just wanted to pass and continue with my ride without the need to insert your opinion on trail use. I also want to say, A: you were on Timber, which is a multiuse trail, not Wells Gulch which I assume is where you started, which is a foot traffic only trail, however, you came to an intersection and turned onto Timber, leaving the hike only section behind. There are other hike only sections in Lory, but you were not on one of them. B: While your attitude was haughty, you were the one actually in the wrong, with both your dogs off leash to explore as they pleased. Now I don't normally care about off-leash dogs, but if you were so keen on the details of the sign you passed at the trailhead as to notice that Wells Gulch was a hike only trail, to the point that you would assume that I didn't know what trail I was on and needed to be informed of this fact, you should have also read that all dogs must remain leashed at all times in the park. I'm sorry everyone for wasting your time with this rant, but I had to get it out there. Trail use issues continue to pop up and everyone likes to blame the bikers for everything that's wrong. I've been accosted, yelled at, and threatened over the years by both people on foot and on horses, and I wish that you'd see bikers as another trail user, equal to you, out to enjoy their free time in nature, just like you. We are not out to destroy trails or scare people, we just want to be outside too. All I ask for is that there's an understanding by all users so we can continue to use our amazing open spaces no matter what method of trail travel you prefer.
