Description
This trail connects going north on Ginny Trail and ends near where Ginny Trail meets Powerline Trail and DR Trail. The trail is one-way, likely due to the difficulty of the trail for fellow mountain bikers. It has great views of the mountain range and Longs Peak. The singletrack trail runs through and down a boulder field with wonderful geological features. Expect to go up and down boulders, then reach the more smooth and flat areas. You also will want to step aside for any mountain bikers coming down, as it seems much more dangerous for those on wheels. This trail is different than other rocky trails in the area, in that often the trail is marked by black diamonds on the boulders you are climbing or coming down with other parts being a normal dirt singletrack trail.
