Coal creek has very fast flowy trails, easy enough for beginners yet when attacked at speed the alpine descent is fun for advanced riders looking to increase speed and go to the edge of grip. There are many rollers along the trail that can be jumped if that's what your in to, but they're made so beginners won't be intimidated or hurt. Fun for all levels and a great place to train and progress skills in speed and grip.
Go up Alpine road until you see a gate that says do not block, this will put you at the bottom of the dirt section of alpine. Alternatively you can drop in the top off page mill by Montebello open space, or into Crazy Pete's off Skyline.
