A winding dirt trail surrounded by dense greenery and trees, with visible rocks and roots along the path. Sunlight filters through the foliage, creating a dappled effect on the ground. Lion Gulch mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Lion Gulch

****   Add a review
#332 of 1,383 mountain bike trails in Colorado

Tricky, technical ride. Fairly short, only 6 miles or so, but lots of rocks making for tough climbing on the way up, which translates into a fun downhill on the way back. Some real rocky parts, a big baby-head field, then at the top a double-track fire-road that goes to a bunch of old homesteads from back in the day. More trails are accessible once you hit the first homestead. A fun ride all around.
