Mountain Biking Waldo Canyon

***   Add a review
#312 of 1,383 mountain bike trails in Colorado

The trail starts from the parking lot at the top of the stairs. Ride up for about 1.7 miles to the loop trail. At the loop, go right to ride up the switchbacks or go left to ride up the steep creek side of the trail. The views are incredible and the climbs are difficult. This trail includes about 1200 - 1400 feet of climbing in the 7 mile route. After completing the 3.5 mile loop, ride back down the trail to the parking lot. Watch out for hikers as this is a very well traveled trail.
