Mountain Biking Bear Creek FS Road / #101 / #49
#464 of 1,395 mountain bike trails in Colorado
The gravel Bear Creek road meanders uphill for several miles through the beautiful Bear Creek Valley. Once the road passes the Columbine Trailhead, it gets much rougher and steeper, climbing steeply up to the dead end / trailhead where the road T's into the Rainbow Trail.
5.6 miles from the highway to the Rainbow Trail Trailhead

Head south of Salida on Hwy 50 towards Cotopaxi, and look for road 101 on the right.
After the cattle guard the road is steep and rocky...very strenuous--but beautiful!
| ThankFor a forest road, this is a rather picturesque, enjoyable ride.
The climb gets very steep and aerobically difficult on the upper half, but isn't too challenging lower down.
