Rocky accent to Rd 23 and Horsetooth Reservoir, and then decend. Not much shade. There is a great spot to get air on the way back down by the stadium. Great views of Ft. Collins from the top. Trail connects to Pine Ridge Natural Area and Dixon Reservoir to the south. Trail ends at Claymore Lake.
From the Overland Trail-Rd 42C intersection in Fort Collins, take 42C west towards the south end of CSU Hughes Stadium. Park on the north side of the road. The trail is on the right (north) side of the road on then SW side of the stadium, and is a gravel road that quickly turns into singltrack. On the south side of 42C is a trail into the Pine Ridge Natural Area and Dixon Reservoir. This trail can also be accessed from Road 23 that follows the east side of Horsetooth Reservoir.
