Red Cone

Trail Overview

Red Cone is one of the most iconic trails in Colorado. It begins with an intermittently muddy and rocky trail uphill as you navigate to the timberline. After a couple of steep sections, you can continue to climb up and ride along the narrow trail along the crest of the mountain tops until you reach the peak of Red Cone. There is a sign and often a flag. Take in the scenery and the view at this point is stunning. At this point is your last chance to turn around. Once you start the descent, you will be on a one-way trail. From here, the trail starts to make a series of steep descents. You should be in the lowest gear possible and stay light on your brake usage. The trail comes to a conclusion at Webster Pass. This trail requires a Colorado OVH Sticker.

Difficulty

Red Cone is very rocky as you navigate up through the Timberline. The ascents are not nearly as challenging as the descents.
