Mountain Biking Big Willis Gulch Trail

***   Add a review
#846 of 1,392 mountain bike trails in Colorado
#9,058 in the world

Running 5.9 miles one-way, this 12-mile round-trip out-and-back is brutally steep right off the bat, and runs up Willis Gulch past Willis Lake.

    I've only ridden the lower section of this trail, but so far it wasn't anything to write home about: steep hike-a-bike and no real payout except for a steep descent. Of course, I can't wait to follow this trail all the way up to Willis Lake: I bet that section is gorgeous!
