Description
The Outer Limits Trail is classic Lake Pueblo singletrack that hugs the western Arkansas Point Rim above the reservoir's shore. The trail begins (or ends) at Arkansas Point, a spectacular peninsula that offers fantastic views of Lake Pueblo. It is a very easy route that connects other nearby trails. The trail is pretty smooth, with only a few rocks or roots, and winds through shallow arroyos and pinon and juniper forest. There is very little elevation gain but there are great views of the lake below.
