Trail Overview

This is a 1.3-mile-long easy single track that goes along the rim of a mountain the whole way. It's really smooth, with rocks pushed to the side of the trail. There isn't much exposure because it's on a wide shelf but sometimes gets close to the edge. It goes through a low alpine terrain of rolling hills but is mostly flat, so it's super easy and great for a beginner. The terrain is really beautiful in fall when the scrub oak turns into beautiful shades of orange and red.

Access Description

The Crown Trail System is accessed off of Price Creek Road south of Carbondale, Colorado. It's a small trail system of multi-use trails, with many mountain bike trails, and 6 motorized single tracks of easy difficulty that are great for beginners. There is a small staging area at the beginning of The Crown Road, and several campgrounds for small rigs on Price Creek Road. These are best in spring and fall because it can get hot in the summer. The trails are open 4/16 - 11/30.
