Description
Beginning mountain bikers flock to this park, 30 minutes west of Denver, for smooth, hard pack single track. The climbs will not bust the lungs, the descents are thrilling and fast, and the trails are basically void of technicalities such as rocks and steeps. That is, until you approach the Sisters Trail: a craggy climb up tight switchbacks that might be easier walking rather than riding. But the views from the top are well worth the effort.
