Description
This main trail through Turkey Springs connects many of the other trails in the area, making the possibilities for loops nearly endless. The trail traverses mainly Pine forest, passing by an occasional pond and wanders through sporadic aspen groves. Catamount boasts a gentle grade from one end to the other and avoids old doubletrack and rock for the majority. It begins at Powerline and connects Boulder, Round Park and Creek in the south. It briefly shares rocky doubletrack with Newt Jack before continuing north on singletrack to connect with Park Ave and the namesake Turkey Springs.
