Colorado Springs, CO: Gold Creek Road to Jones Downhill

Complete a grueling 17.7-mile climb before reaching the roller-coaster-like singletrack of Jones Downhill on this 41-mile loop in Pike National Forest.


 


An unrelenting climb and a screaming descent highlight this challenging, 41-mile loop through Pike National Forest. Park your car on High Drive and begin climbing south toward Gold Camp Road, a paved one-lane thoroughfare with occasional vistas of Colorado Springs and the eastern plains. The route climbs at a nearly constant grade for the first 17.6 miles before turning left onto Upper Gold Camp Road for a 9.6-mile out-and-back.


After tackling the out-and-back, turn left onto Forest Service Road 379 and hit two short climbs en route to the singletrack descent on Jones Downhill. The descent starts on a snaking ridgeline before transitioning into a series of tight and quick singletrack turns. You'll hit chutes and banked curves as you continue downward, eventually turning right to head east and follow Bear Creek. The singletrack ends at High Drive, where a quick cruise leads back to your car and the end of the ride.
