The 6 mile out and back (12 miles total) is gorgeous, rewarding you with sweeping views of the rugged Collegiate Peaks Wilderness at the top of Laws Pass. The next section is so pretty we make you run it twice. Once you’ve finished the massive descent, several miles of choppy forest roads take you into St Elmo ghost town. After you've soaked in the scenery, begin the quad-crushing descent into the Chalk Creek Valley. Not only will the climb be breathtaking, but so will the views - you'll be able to see the entire course from the top.

At Little Browns Creek, you'll begin the 5,000’ climb to 13,150' under the shadow of the fourteener Mount Antero. After a brief climb to get out of the valley floor, the trail winds gently through a gorgeous forest of aspens and Ponderosa pines.įor the next few miles, the fast and rolling single track runs along the base of the mountains. Four miles of paved and gravel roads lead you to the Colorado Trail, one of Colorado's most famous and beloved trails. You'll start at the base of the massive Mount Princeton in a open meadow.
