Some of the best mountain biking in the city! It's a little washed out right now, but it's still a lot of fun.

From the Marriott, take the black and blue trail to the beaUTiful loop. A great walk in the woods amounting to about 11k steps!

Good parking lot that hooks into the trail system next to Hewlett Packard. Gives you quick access to the Black & Blue loop as well as the downhill only MTB trails via Red Rover. This lot doesn't currently full up with cars as fast as the old trailhead off of Vindicator.

Nice new lot and plenty of parking. More technical side of the park and can get crowded without room to pass well with all the bikes.

The trailhead offers no amenities. But the trail itself is a tiny jewel tucked away in a small canyon which ends within view of Interstate 25. The hiking loop is around 2.3 miles, the terrain is easy and the views are spectacular. Just watch out for the bicycles and the early spring snakes.
