Upper Brewers is an intermediate mountain biking trail spanning from Worthen Reservoir to Fossil Hill. While very slowly losing elevation and incredibly well built, Upper Brewers is a great ride on its own or in addition to its more challenging Lower Brewers counterpart.

      Seriously one of the best slowly downhill trails I've ridden in years! Absolutely beautifully built trail as far as quality. But also as far as flow. Turns are big enough. Trail surface is dreamy to die for hard packed and fast. Pure bliss for the entire ride down !! 😍😍😍😍

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
