Meridian

Hiking and biking Trail that traverses underneath the Gold Hill Lift 14. This is an old rogue trail/Elk Path that has been formalized and adopted into the Telluride Bike Park Cross Country Trail System. True to its old-school roots, this trail is raw and challenging. Expect to be out of the saddle and putting your lungs to the test. Stop and enjoy the scenery on the way, but while riding, it's best to keep focused on the very narrow trail in front of you. Best ridden from east to west (top of lift 5 to Basin Trail). If you can hike it in reverse, you deserve a spot on the world tour.
