Start out on the Foothills Trail and ride West uphill to the first trail intersection. Foothills Trail continues to the left, Reservoir Ridge Trail goes up on the Right and loops back around along Centenial Drive and back to the Foothills Trail. This trail is moderately technical due to rocky trail. Watch for trail hikers, runners, horses.
From Fort Collins, head north on Overland Trail. From Laporte, head south on Overland Trail. Overland Trail makes a series of turns, Michaud Lane is in the elbow of the 90 degree turn. Head down Michaud Lane to the end, this puts you right into the parking lot for Reservoir Ridge Natural Area next to Claymore Lake.
