Coming from Fruita or Grand Junction: Go through Colorado Natl Monument and take the road to Glade Park. Drive to intersection where you will find the glade park store on corner.

Park in the lot.
Real fun ride, beautiful aspens, tight bowled single track, lots of cows. Some technical dots but mostly a smooth fast ride.
| ThankI am giving this a three. Every time I think I am an intermediate mountain biker, I ride a trail like this that kinda chews me up and spits me out.
Gorgeous trail overall with fantastic scenery. Too many hike a bikes for my fitness/skill level.
We rode it 7/27/14 and there were sooo many speed sucking sandy portions. Lots of bugs as well. So bring your bug spray.
| ThankFun trail, good climbing fun descending. Bring your bug juice there are a lot biting insects. Do the ride mid week you'll be by yourself.
| Thankawesome ride to get out of the heat. a total of 9 miles with combining Turkey Flats, Hay press, Ridge trail & Fruita Res. #1.
| ThankThe uphill was tough due to the amount of roots on the trail. but the downhill was great.
Great trail to ride if you have been doing desert rides all summer. If you like the classic mountain singletrack in the timber with tech climbs, root drops and shade this for you.
| ThankStill a little muddy in places and some trees across the trail. Nice easy singletrack through a beautiful forest.
