Multiuse out-and-back trail that traverses montane forest and subalpine meadows. Sometimes rocky and rooty, with some loose climbs. Trail is also rough in spots. Good scenery and high elevations. Start at Sand Lake trailhead and ride uphill to Brooklyn Lake, then decend on the return. Access other trails (e.g., Quealy Lake) from Sheep Lake Trail. Camping nearby at both trailheads.

An overlooked gem not far from the Front Range. The perfect mix of easy/mod tech, climbing, and the skinniest, faintest ST you'll ever see. You might have to stop to check if you're really on the trail. 90% of the ride is up in the Tundra in an extremely lightning prone Mt. Range, so ride early.

Thank |Lots of rough singletrack here. Not technical, just rough as the high alpine environment is rough. The scenery is spectacular, taking your mind off your sore backside.
