Description
Directions: Follow the fire road from Ridgeway Trailhead parking lot. Follow signs as it loops around South Suburban and Gold Camp Reservoirs. The trail ends in a small parking lot adjacent to Starsmore Visitor Center in Cheyanne Canyon. Description: This is a fairly boring route that is 90% fire road used to access the reservoirs. There is some singletrack trail on the west side of Gold Camp Reservoir, but its pretty sandy.
