681 Scotty's ATV Trail

Scotty's ATV Trail is a 4.5-mile trail designated for vehicles 50 inches or less in the Rampart Range Recreation Area. The trail is relatively easy for the entire track. It's pretty troughed out in areas, with a deep rut through the middle of the trail, so dirt bikers and ATVers will need to pick the high points of the trail. It's made up of small hills going up and down, frequently gaining and losing elevation, as it meanders through a pine tree forest. The trail has a lot of whoops in spots, and it goes past big granite boulders. When riding north to south, there is an optional advanced obstacle of a 6/7 difficulty called Scotty's Rock about 3 miles into the trail. The trail splits here with signs indicating which direction to go for Most Difficult or Intermediate, so the obstacle can be bypassed completely. It's a huge steep rock slab ramp that is likely only intended for dirt bikes, not ATVs. The obstacle is recommended to be ridden down only. (It's not marked when riding in the north direction, so you get funneled on the easy path when riding north.)
