Mountain Biking Hancock Road

Hancock Road is a 2wd dirt road that runs from Saint Elmo to Hancock. This forms the first leg and the main climb of the Alpine Tunnel Loop, but it'd be great on its own due to the great scenery and the historic mining buildings that this road runs past.

There is also fat biking here on groomed snow mobile trails. Click here for up-to-date snow mobile grooming conditions.

    Wide, well maintained dirt road. Usually something I would never do, but it's really quite excellent. The grade is amazingly consistent and makes for a great combination of exercise and scenery. Also, the first leg of the CDT Alpine Tunnel loop, and a great warmup.

    On fat bikes this is a nice steady climb. Not too steep. It allows you to enjoy the views without sucking too much oxygen. The descent is not hair blazing fast but fun and controlled. A good ride for a beginner with some altitude aclimitization.
