Mountain Biking Trail Trip Reports

“My favorite place! So pretty and easy hike. Can see snow caps of Loveland from here which makes for a great view. Lots of people but not terribly crowded. Highly recommend this location for any season.”

“Awesome super easy trail along the river and very quite”

“Great little hike. Signage as noted by others is poor. We started at the lower parking area for Lower Maxwell Falls. The little yellow sign about a half mile in had no verbiage. The other two trails were as much a mystery as others said. Go straight as the arrow suggests. The little falls sign will elude you if your not watching. It’s on the right but you turn off left. Short little offshoot but a nice diversion. From there the rest is pleasant, until you finish the cliff loop and logically turn left to follow the river. NO SINGNAGE. A right (correct direction) arrow is etched in a tree if you look hard. A Nice trail to private property lures hikers left only to end up at do not enter signs. 😳 once you go slightly up and right on the correct trail you cross a familiar bridge, go about a mile and there you are, at the car. Pleasant just a directional challenge. You can’t really go very wrong as it’ll all get you there, somehow.”

“Nice shaded hike. Lots of spurs. Felt like we were on the right trail.”

“Easy loop connecting to the Betasso Canyon Loop on one side and the Four Mile Link on the other”

“Well maintained. Easy access from Four Mile Canyon. Especially good on Wednesday and Saturday when bikes are not allowed”

“Foley Ridge was part of the Substitute burn... Eight percent of the trail burn area.”

“Enjoy a hike up the Canyon of the North Fork Tuolumne River. There’s outstanding mountain & river scenery. Wildflowers abound in the spring. The trail follows a narrow gauge lumber railroad grade. Cross-ties & steel rails remain along the right-of-way. The interesting history of the railroad is highlighted in plaques along the trail. Nature & history combine to create a terrific day-hike.

“This was a lot of fun. It was hard and I had to stop a few times to catch my breathe due to the altitude, but it was great nonetheless. Spent 1.5hrs at Lake Marlette and then finished up the loop. Calves were a little beat up the next morning and the dog had some stiffness but we survived - so can you!”

“We entered this trail from Joyce Trail. It was wonderful to hike with kids as it was mostly flat (once you got over the really steep start). Definitely want to hike this again.”

“Easy hike for new beginners to hiking. Shaded, steady climb, beautiful views, and nice people passing by. Watch out for bikers if you're not one to bike on trails. ”

“We took ATVs out on Spruce Em Up Jack. Lots of fun!!!”

“Great hike, pretty Falls, and nice place to swim when you get to the falls.”

“Close to a waterfall and trails that run alongside the river. Very nice.”

“Beautiful and flat. My husband and I love Jekyll island and biking was a great way to get around the island.”

“The day begins”

“Beautiful trail leads you down to the lake.”

“The trail is flat, gravel and in good condition. The street crossings all have lights which makes it nice Downside of the trail is that it's not all that scenic, running behind a lot of warehouses. On the south end, you do get a view of the water. It's a nice afternoon ride.”

“My pup and I love exploring here. It’s not well-marked but it’s a fun adventure.”

“We enjoy this trail when we don’t have much time. We park in the Pike Creek church lot on Polly Drummond Road. Be prepared to share the trail with mountain bikers.”

“Here again not much of a trail, more a road for WD. ”

“Not much of a trail. Sandy and gravely climb with good views of the Dona Ana Mountains.”

“Not much of a trail, more a sandy and gravely road . The views of the Dona Ana mountains are nice though.”

“Rough road but very good views of Broad Canyon and Tonuco Mountain”

“Wonderful!”

“Look Out Pass to Saint Regis. 40 miles total of rail to trail. One tunnel and one Trussell bridge.Trail surface is still pretty rough and needs a mountain bike with some kind of suspension. A couple towns to stop along the route for food and drink.”

“It’s a great place we had so much fun.. we did half the trail..”

“Alice Creek Trailhead- Following in the footsteps of Meriwether Lewis as he and his party crossed Lewis and Clark Pass and recognized for the first time the rest of the journey home was downhill. Also the original Road to the Buffalo used for millennia by hunting parties. The views are vast made more open by the 2017 Alice Creek Fire. The Continental Divide Trail hovers at the top. Abundant wildflowers and wildlife. Look for wolves, moose, elk, grizzly bear, and foxes.”

“This road is badly washed out and just barely passable with a high clearance 4WD vehicle”

“FR 7305 is washed out and barely passable with a high clearance 4WD vehicle”

“Magnificent 130 mile trail from Bristol Pa north to Scranton. Don’t miss, a beauty! 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️”

“Fairly easy ride. It has been extended by 2 miles. Historic sites along the way, including railway structures from early 1900’s, restored caboose, cement kilns from 1900 and of course the Troxell Steckel house from 1756. Also two public swimming pools to cool off!”

“Renting bikes and taking the Santa Monica Beach bike path is a fantastic thing to do if you're vacationing in L.A. It's fun to do all year round since the weather is always nice. You'll get some fantastic views of the ocean and storefronts along the beach as you ride along. ”

“If you love the ocean, this path has beautiful views of the Pacific. It's great for walking, jogging or biking. It's less crowded early in the mornings but it can also often be misty and cloudy early in the day. Afternoons often can give you better views. It's not unusual to see dolphins out in the ocean, as well as surfers. This is definitely a must-do if you're visiting LA and want to experience the iconic L.A. beach view.”

“There’s no experience to describe. There isn’t a trail here. Just a clearing smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood.”

“This trail follows the foothills of the Organ Mountains. It is fairly level with some arroyos to cross. Great views of the Organ Mountains and a great place to see barrel cactus .”

“Beautiful trail to hike or horseback ride through within Yellowstone National Park. Good, long trail for those who want to spend several hours hiking and enjoying gorgeous scenery. ”

“I did this trail with other members of the Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) on June 6, 2019. No spikes or snowshoes were needed. The trail starts as a rather wide, easy and soft trail and it opens into a really nice meadow as it quickly heads away from the highway. Instead of following the trail to the falls as described in the guide books, however, we left the trail at the beaver ponds (less than 1 mile from the start) and headed through the woods in a westerly direction towards Sentinel Point (shown in one of the pictures). At the beginning of the hike through the woods there is a semblance of a trail but that faint trail disappears quickly and you are on your own. Do not attempt this without a GPS or a good map and compass because is easy to get lost (I added a GPS recording here of our hike if you want to use it). The hike also took us through one or two boulder fields where we had to scramble. As we reached Sentinel Point we got above the tree line to alpine tundra and the last approach to the top also required some rather interesting scrambling. The hike is well worthed but not necessarily easy because of the scrambling. If you like that and some route finding this is a good hike to do though. We saw two other hikers at the top of Sentinel Point but we didn't see any additional people on the way down. The total mileage was 7.2 miles and it took us 6 and 1/2 hours including a 30 min lunch break and several rest stops. The trail starts at 9641 ft and the top of Sentinel Point is 12491 ft to give a total elevation gain of 2778 ft.”

“Perfect way for visitors to get immersed in the local mountain forest, close to Santa Fe. We went on a weekday morning & saw about a dozen people on our way around the trail loop, but the route is evidently *very* crowded on weekends, which might spoil somewhat the peace & quiet that make this hike so beautiful. ”

“I went here often when I lived in LA. This is a really lovely, quiet spot where you can enjoy a pleasant hike through some shady areas, as well as enjoy the lake and the koi pond. The hiking trail isn't very long so this is a perfect place for beginners or people just getting into shape for a hike, or for a picnic and relaxing with a book by the lake. Miss this place!”

“Took my dogs here often when I lived in the SF Valley. This is a nice trail that's well maintained and isn't difficult at all so it's good for beginners and for dogs. Some sections of it are paved too. You'll get some great views of the city. It's a fairly popular trail so you'll always see people on it when you go and can be more active during the weekends.”

“It’s a paved trail...with the crackle of electricity from power lines above. But it’s a trail when there didn’t have to be. It finds the good smell of a prairie in the morning and crosses a meandering stream with well thought out bridges.”

“Meandering through a quiet neighborhood.”

“Very short trail with views of the old Butterfield Stage coach ruins.”

“That’s not a trail, it’s the Angle Road cabins”

“This has always been a pretty view of the French Broad River. The Greenway follows the river that runs into Asheville, NC. Located on the west side of the Continental Divide, the river runs from east to west through Asheville and almost into Knoxville, TN. The park is a very flat area that runs along the edge of the French Broad River. The area is nearly level with the river and floods easily whenever the river swells from long-term rains. The loop is easy to walk when the river hasn’t flooded the banks. Some of the trail is paved and the rest is subject to being muddy from the overflow. Much depends on when you go. If you venture out when there’s been very little rain, you can enjoy the loop. There’s a dog park, but it’s often muddy, so don't count on having that space for your dog, at least not a clean space. ”
