MOUNTAIN BIKING: Phillp S. Miller Park

← CO SC00505806BBD4 DTX11M MUDDY CREEK SC00505806BBD4 DTX11M MUDDY CREEK Single Tracks →

Description

Park at the Miller Activity Center parking lot (or start on sidewalk just off the Plum Creek Parkway entrance) and join the trail at the base of the "mini incline" stairs (200 steps to the top of the hill). <br />
<br />
The trail continues past the steps and the singletrack starts. Stay to the right as the first left will take you to the top of the mini incline. Follow the singletrack as it twists and winds around the hills of this 220 acre Town Park. <br />
<br />
Don't forget to stop and look around as the views from the tops of the hills are impressive and provide a great overlook to Castle Rock and the surroundings area. <br />
<br />
The trail has very few straight sections, so use caution on the blind corners when going up or down the switchbacks. The trail has some short but steep climbs but nothing that a fit, regular mountain biker can't power up. The reward is worth it for the views and the fun and quick downhills. <br />
<br />
There are few trail intersections, so getting lost on this trail will be tough. In the future, a shortcut will be added at the north end of the park to cross over Wolfensberger to access Ridgeline Open Space trails.

Directions

Take the Plum Creek exit from I-25 and head West 0.7 mile. Phillp S. Miller Park will be on the left. You can't miss the Miller Activity Center (MAC)
