This trail is short, less than 2.5 miles each way. It is popular with hikers and is mostly about 4′ wide and smooth with a couple technical spots along the way. The middile portion is an easy ride, but the first and last half miles are steep and strenuous. You will alternate between open meadows and nicely forested singletrack with huge rock formations along the way.

This is a pretty mellow trail that winds its way from McReynolds Reservoir around the west side of Mason Reservoir and then up to Boehmer Reservoir. Nothing technical, other than a couple steps and short (like under 50′) steep sections. A nice pedal thru a sub-alpine forest just below tree line with great views of Pikes Peak and the lakes on the south slope of Pikes Peak. Note that this is a seasonal area and is closed in the winter. It is managed by the City of Colorado Springs. To find out the latest status go to www.springsgov.com

This trail climbs 7500 vertical feel in just under 13 miles to the top of Pikes Peak (6,600 to 14,100 ft). Since bikes are not allowed on the toll road, this is the only way to ride your bike to the top of Pikes Peak. Be prepared for fast changing weather and much colder conditions on top. The trail starts out with a few stairs and then enters a section of switchbacks called the incline. The incline climbs at an average grade of 11% for a couple of miles with it almost all being rideable.
