Mountain Biking Narrow Gauge Trail
#515 of 1,392 mountain bike trails in Colorado
The Narrow Gauge Trail is located on the sight of an old railroad that ran from 1880-1926. Most of this route is closed to motorized vehicles, making it an extremely scenic, yet beginner-friendly, mountain bike ride.
The old railroad grade traverses the side of the mountain, offering gorgeous views of Mount Princeton and the Chalk Cliffs on the opposite side of the valley. Most of trail tread is gravely, and the trail is doubletrack-wide in most places, with a couple of sections that narrows to singletrack.

Off of the Mount Princeton Road
Overall this trail is extremely easy, despite a bit of elevation gain if ridden as an out and back.... however, the scenery alone makes this ride worth-while! The epic views of Mount Princeton, a 14er, towering above you, as well as many other 12 and 13ers, an alpine lake below, the chalk cliffs at the end of the valley, and several waterfalls all, add up to make for an incredible experience in the mountains! If you want more riding, this can be combined with segments of the Colorado trail.
