March 6, 2021i tried to come here in March 6th, it was closed. completely blocked off by orange barricade.
February 28, 2021nothing exciting but good when you dont have a lot of time and need to squeeze in some cardio. patches of snow and ice but mostly muddy and no shade. no traction needed. only saw like 4 other groups on a sunday.
February 27, 2021February 9, 2021Pretty boring if you’re hiking. Extremely muddy right now.
January 31, 2021Great trail!! Patches of ice in on the shaded side!
January 23, 2021January 16, 2021January 2, 2021December 9, 2020i thought this trail was awesome. super flowy and not too many places where you need to come off the bike
December 8, 2020December 8, 2020Snowpacked and muddy among the trees. But that adds charm.
December 7, 2020outstanding tasks. I ran the blue and red loops, about 4 miles. nice rolling type hills, 2 spots with outstanding views of the rockies as well. Great running area. will be back.
December 6, 2020December 1, 2020very icy and long
November 22, 2020November 15, 2020Great trail going counter clockwise. A little snow left on the trail.
November 8, 2020It was my first Mountain Bike trail, overall I loved it. I went on a Saturday, more mountain Bikers then hikers. Everyone was very courteous when passing, or letting me by. The climbs are not that tough it has a decent mixture of smooth ups and downs. No shade out there.
October 17, 2020October 17, 2020Well-marked, excellent signage. Beautiful views, trail goes through grasslands and scrub oak groves. Relatively easy elevation gains and descents. Rocky in spots. 32-spot parking lot at the Coachline Road trailhead. Take the 9.5 mile loop or use one or more of the many bypass trails to shorten. Recommend!
October 12, 2020Mileage is a bit closer to 9.5 miles r/t. Relatively easy trail that flows up and down throughout. Depending on time of day, there can be a variety of wildlife, especially near dawn or dusk. There are a lot of mountain bikers on weekends but most are very courteous.
October 10, 2020October 5, 2020narrow and rocky, steep in places. great workout.
September 16, 2020September 15, 2020September 1, 2020Great trails for trail running.
August 31, 2020This trail is fine, but not really anything to write home about. It would be a super convenient trail system for anyone who lives in the surrounding neighborhoods, but otherwise I don't know that it's really worth a drive. This would make a good beginner-friendly trail running area. It's not too technical. There is no shade.
August 29, 2020it was my first time on a substantive trail. I took my hybrid which was clearly unsuitable for this Trail. the trail is challenging but not too hard if you have a mountain bike. The view at the top is beautiful. there are also some places where you can take a bypass, which will get you through, or back to your car, faster. all-in-all all it's great exercise and has good, but not great views.
