This is a short, fun trail, either up or down. It's a bit technical with skinny parts, big rocks, loose rocks, tight turns, and steep drop offs. If you're going to do it with any speed, you might consider knee and elbow pads.

This trail is unsanctioned.

Traditionally Indigenous Territory

 Great fun! BUT BE WARNED. There is a grumpy BLM officer that is hunting you if you ride Bikes on this trail. It's a trap! And they won't put any...

      There is a sign at the bottom of the trail indicting use for hiking or mountain biking. Not sure why this is listed for hiking only. It’s a fun trail with lots of twists and turns. It’s not too steep, so it’s a fairly easy ride.

      User Reminder: this trail was developed on public and private property workout aurora from the managing agency. It is closed to mechanized (bicycles) and motorized vehicles year around. Violations incur fines starting at $130.00.

      Furthermore, the legal trails (over 40+ miles) are closed to motorized and mechanized vehicles from November 16 to April 14 annually.

      The area management plan does not regulate or restrict other recreational uses such as foot and equestrian uses.

      This wasn't always unsanctioned for mountain biking. It was a fun trail, but even going downhill at times it felt more like an xc trail. You do want to beware of blind corners though; a few of them will throw you right of the mountain if you're not careful.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
