Trail Overview

Tusky Ridge is a 2.3-mile-long singletrack trail that gradually descends from south to north, losing approximately 600 feet in elevation. The route flows smoothly through groves of aspens and fields of wildflowers, with a combination of straight, gradual stretches and tight, winding turns. The trail surface is very smooth with almost no rock, and its consistent ease and flow make it a popular route for mountain bikers as well. Located within the Big Munger trail system, Tusky Ridge can be combined with nearby trails like Poison Creek, Squaw Creek, and Wally World to form various loop options for a half-day ride. About halfway through the trail, a short connector called Cosmic Carols links to Poison Creek.
