Mountain Biking Squirrel Creek
#310 of 1,379 mountain bike trails in Colorado
Access from Davenport Campground off hwy 165 and loop Second Mace/Dome Rock/Squirrel Creek trails or from Pueblo Mtn Park in Beulah, since traditional access from Squirrel Cr Rd is rstricted. Squirrel Creek is the wildest ride I yet to do. Going up is a bitch, and you will probably have to dismount and walk about thirty times. The Squirrel Creek crosses the bike trail around thirty times and this is what makes it tricky riding up. Eventually climb above the creek and the trail is just normal singletrak. Take it all the way up to the old house that was burned down.Going down is F*cking sweet, it is narrow, steep, and fast. Once you hit the creek crossings is what makes the trail unique in my opinion. Here you are flying down through all of these crossings. Just be careful not to slip on rocks. Have fun!

Drive HWY 96 for about 30 miles to a little mountain town named Beulah. When first entering the town, take the left fork going up to the Pueblo Mountain Mark. Keep on the same road until you see a white stone bridge on your right. Take a right onto the bridge and take the road all the way to its end. Park at the side of the road. The trail is right through the gate. Good luck! Update: You can no longer access the trail going up the road with the white bridge (Squirrel Creek Road). Instead, take a left right before the white bridge to stay on Hwy 78 (S Pine Dr.). Go 0.9 mi on Hwy 78, and take a right onto Mountain Park Road. Follow this dirt road for a quarter mile or so until you come to a closed gate that says "Carhart and other Trails". Park here on your left. You will access Squirrel Creek Trail through Carhart Trail, which is a very nice trail in itself and 1.8 miles long. Petal through the gate, and up the road about another quarter mile. Just past the archery range, you will pick up singletrack in an open field, and you're on your way. It's all well signed, so it's easy to navigate.
