Mountain Biking Ridge Trail

This is a short fast fun ride.From the parking lot ride east on the bike path turn right [south] on Bergen PKW a short distance turn left on Keystone dr. watch for the trail to take off on the right just across from Placid dr. Follow the trail past some ponds cross a subdivision road. When you get to the waste water treatment plant follow the trail along the fence line across the the driveway not the trail that goes to the left [east]. The trail ends at the south entrance to the plant. I like to tie this ride in with the Elk Meadow loop it makes about a 15 mile ride.

    Heavy foot traffic! This is the front range so there are lots of hikers and runners on the trail at all times even weekdays.

    When searching for JeffCo trails here on singletracks.com, if you sort them by rating, this is (was) the only trail that came up with a 5-star rating. Naturally, I had to check it out (even though it was hard to believe this rating after looking at the trail map). If ridden north-south, it is an easy & short downhill, combo of single and double track, and a few loose rocks and hikers. Would have been a fun end to riding Bergen (as others have suggested here) except for the uphill road slog back to the Bergen parking area at the end of it.
