Denver, CO: Buffalo Creek

This sampling of Buffalo Creek’s mountain bike territory (a 40-mile trail system) rolls over 15.4 miles of easy singletrack in Pike National Forest where the terrain ranges from lush, shaded forest along the Colorado Trail to a desert-like, decade-old burn zone above Buffalo Creek.

Warm up with a 0.9-mile uphill on CR-550’s washboard surface before turning right onto the Colorado Trail. The climb mellows as the easy singletrack dips into stream beds and winds over Little Scraggy Peak and Green Mountain’s ponderosa-covered foothill contours. The trail tops out at mile 4.7 and begins a long downhill—interrupted by a short, technical, rock section and slowed by slick, trail-crossing roots. This route bypasses the Green Mountain Loop and continues on the Colorado Trail through the Meadows Campground, crossing two dirt roads and turning left to join the Redskin Creek Trail that ends at the Gashouse Gulch Trailhead. Continue east on Gashouse Gulch for a 1.75-mile stretch of easy downhill singletrack before joining the 543 road and turning uphill at the Morrison Creek Trail. The final 3.2 miles gain 700 gradual feet of elevation, but the climb eases just before the trail ends at CR-550, 100 yards west of the parking area.
