Trail Overview
Mail Box is a 50" track that descends through Aspen glades in the Uncompahgre Plateau Wilderness. Fun and fast with several whoops. This trail is how you access Massey Trail.Massey Trail is a single-track winding trail that climbs back up the plateau (if you do the trail clockwise). The forest is always changing as you gain altitude. The bottom of this trail is a dry dirt trail that is easy to navigate. The top half of the trail is lush and overgrown, with several climbs up rocky and loose sections. Take the Mail Box cut-off to complete the loop.
Difficulty
There is a 1/2 mile stretch where the trail is very narrow with loose rocks and sand. The creek drops off quickly to the side.
