Barbour Fork Loop is an OHV trail, open to hikers, that mainly winds throughout the wooded forests of the front country. The trail is not particularly scenic because it stays mostly within tree cover, but it's perfect for a walk in the woods. Enjoy the surrounding aspen forests, but be ready for a tough workout, because there are plenty of steep climbs along this trail.
Take I-70 west of Denver to Idaho Springs exit #241 left on Miner Street just past Safeway , left on Soda Creek past the hot springs continue past the dump to the parking lot just before the forest service gate. About 3 miles total from I.S
