The Buffalo Creek trail system is at least 14 miles long and includes a number of different trails. The singletrack itself is fairly sandy and gravely. These trails offer some gorgeous views due to an old burn and they pass by some amazing rock formations. There's a nearby campground of the same name.
Note: this is a fairly popular mountain bike destination.
From Colorado Springs, take US 24 to Woodland Park. Turn right onto CO 67 and go to Deckers. <br />Continue straight onto CO 126 approximately 20 miles. Parking is on the right just before the <br />bridge at the Buffalo Creek Forest Service Work Center. The trail starts on Buffalo Creek road on <br />the left of CO 126 just over the bridge. Ride about 3 miles and turn right onto Baldy Trail and <br />stay on Baldy through the climb. Turn right onto Gashouse, and make your next turn right onto <br />Miller Gulch Trail. Go left onto the Homestead trail, then right on Charlie's Cutoff. This becomes <br />Sandy Wash trail, take this back down to Buffalo Creek Road.
