This trail serves as an entrance to the Mt Evans Wilderness Area. Don't let the Wilderness sign at the trailhead fool you--you can ride a good five miles before hitting the Wilderness Boundary for a good bit of overall mileage, especially as an add on to the all-too-short Maxwell Falls trail.
The trail surface is mostly wide singletrack covered with loose gravel. The first stretch is a significant climb, but it does level out up high. The trail is easy to follow. Just ride until the sign at the actual Wilderness boundary and retrace your pedal strokes.
This trail is great for adding on miles, but has little to recommend it otherwise. Neither the trail layout or the gravel surface make for particularly good cycling. The best scenery occurs within the Wilderness boundary where bikes are verboten. The good news is it sees very little traffic compared to other area rides. Do this one on a day dedicated to training and/or solitude rather than amusement.
