Horsetooth Mountain park

Took the Yeti north to Horsetooth. I've never ridden up there before and I have to say that there are some incredible trails in there. I only rode for a short time but climbed up the service road/Horsetooth Mountain trail and then down Wather and Spring Creek. The trails were in supreme condition. Nice and tacky with some snow and mud mixed in.

I may be back there real soon. I want to cover more of the park.

Horsetooth is great. Mill Creek is another gem. Hours and hours of good riding.

Were you up there today (Friday)

fo sho. Now, you can start in Loveland at Devil's backbone and roll all the way north on the Blue Sky trail to Horsetooth, connect that with Lory St Park and ride back. That's all day right there. Wouldn't take the 6.6 on that, though.

Any news debaser?

I was there today. I just touched the surface and can't wait to get back there and put in a full day. I have heard about it so much but didn't realize how incredible those trails are.

Hey Dave, Devils Backbone to Lory and back might be a good idea for the Lyons Fat tire fest. Its only a 20-30 minute drive to devils backbone. Just a thought.

Hmm, good idea. No wicked downhill, though. I like those...

Schuman said...

Yeah but once you get the Horsetooth, the loop I did today would be an easy add in that was a killer downhill. Lets talk with maps. I know you like maps too.

I might be heading off to the Backbone in the morning...
