Mountain Biking Homestead
#340 of 1,392 mountain bike trails in Colorado
Homestead is approximately 4 miles long and begins as a doubletrack descent, but at a junction it hangs a hard right and turns into glorious singletrack climbing through the pines. Eventually you will crest the top and continue the bomber descent that you began a couple miles previous, only this time on super smooth singletrack! Homstead leads to the new Raspberry Ridge/Blackjack freeride trail, so look for that off to your left (if descending). If you’re not up to the rigors of black diamond rocks, keep rocking the smooth singletrack down Homestead to feed into the beautiful Sandy Wash descent.

From Colorado Springs, take US 24 to Woodland Park. Turn right onto CO 67 and go to Deckers. Continue straight onto CO 126 approximately 20 miles. Parking is on the right just before the bridge at the Buffalo Creek Forest Service Work Center. The trail starts on Buffalo Creek road on the left of CO 126 just over the bridge.
Nice flowy fun, but no gnar. Just seems to keep up the speed and fun as one heads back down BC.
| ThankEasy rolling trail thru pine trees. The bests way to get to the Blackjack.
| ThankOne of my favorite trail segments, ever. Fun, fast, flowy. Hit it!
| ThankHomestead connects to Charlie's Cuttoff which is arguably, the best trail in the BC system. While you're screaming wooohooo on Charlie, you'll have time to be sated while continuing on the downhill through Homestead. It isn't bad, just not as fun.
| ThankAs you come off Charlie's Cutoff, the same flow continues on Homestead.

| ThankOn its own, this isn't one of the better Buffalo Creek trails, but it is a nice piece of singletrack that will connects other area trails.
| ThankCharlie's Cutoff gets a lot of love, but don't overlook Homestead nearby. There are some really fun rock sections, and the singletrack is smooth, flowy, and fun. If you're coming from Miller Gulch, try riding down to the bottom of Homestead, then back up to Charlie's Cutoff.
| ThankThis was a nice flow on my way over to Raspberry Ridge. Nothing crazy before that turnoff but other riders that skipped out on the Blackjack route said there was some nice slickrock features further down the trail.
| ThankThis trail is decent, but its best attribute is that it leads to Blackjack
