Mountain Biking Cr 173
#1,050 of 1,396 mountain bike trails in Colorado
CR 173 is an old 4X4 road that runs up through the center of the trail system. It is very steep and loose and rocky in places, and is definitely not ideal to ride on. However, it is often very necessary for connecting up different sections of trails, so if you ride here often you better get used to it!

there are three ways to get in to the town of Salida, from Colroado 291 from Buena vista. hwy 50 from Poncha Springs and hwy 50 from canyon city. from Salida look for F street and go over the F street Bridge. the road ends and leads you in to a parking area. From there you must bike over railroad tracks. You can take the Front Side Trail or Bike up to CR 177.
Since the tougher trails in the system are only good as downhills, this makes a convenient if uninteresting way up, especially if you're going to do multiple laps. It's definitely steep enough to accelerate your heart rate.
