ride up the road to the top and injoy the single track down.This is about a 1700 verdicale climb so be ready.This should take you 1 HR. to climb and look for the single track off the road. I'ts really one of the best rides here.

exit Glenwood Springs and come in to town.Turn right on 8th street ,come to the next stop and turn right.Come to the next stop and turn left.Go about .25 of a mile and turn right.This is where the road tee's.Go about 100YRDS. and then you need to take a left.The road will curve to the left,so take the road another 100YRDDS and your there. parking is to the left.
On anything 6+ the road to the top, at the cross, is a b****. XC rigs and fit riders will have no problem killing the climb. Depending on which fork you take and when, one can make this a fun meander, or a haul ass downhill with loooong air and a couple of 2-4 to stick-it-quick before the road. For the young or the long travel, the air out to flat road gets points (and pain). Straight stretch next to the water tower is a great place to play the no brakes game, if you are having an argument with your collarbone. In all honesty, not a once in a lifetime thing. But if you are a local, awesome after work pre-beer fun time with self imposed challenge. If you are visiting, give it a try, Glenwood locals ride harder than you do after work and pre-beer. And we would love to buy you one at the bar if you can smoke us.
