      Routes with this trail

      5.0 13 miles 1,776 ft 12 Loop
      Linking up a couple of Breck's jump trails
      4.0 23 miles 3,050 ft 42
      Utilizes more singletrack than the firecracker race course
      4.0 18 miles 2,395 ft 18
      Nice smattering of singletrack, fireroad, climbs and decents. A fair taste of Breck's east side.

      Rode as a descent. Surprising lack of descending.
