Visit here if you live in:

  • Denver, CO: 1hr
  • Colorado Springs, CO: 1hr 30min
  • Fort Collins, CO: 2hr
  • Pueblo, CO: 2hr
  • Amarillo, TX: 6hr 30min

With about 30 miles of trails in the main Buffalo Creek trail system, ranging from flowy to balls-to-the-wall technical, there’s a lot to explore and experience. Add in the epic sections of the Colorado Trail running through the area as well, and there’s plenty of riding to keep you busy! Round out the package with a campground bordered on the backside by the CO Trail and on the frontside by the main trail system, and you have the perfect Colorado Front Range weekend getaway! However, unlike almost every other place in Colorado, if you spend more than three or four days here you’ll be itching to ride somewhere else.

But those three or four days will be an absolute riot!
