MOUNTAIN BIKING: Three Forks Trail

← CO ROARING FORK RIVER GLENWOOD SPRINGS CO Single Tracks →

Description

Awesome trail! The summer wildflowers were spectacular and over our <br />
handlebars.<br />
Be aware of the Guardian Sheep Dogs. We didn’t have any problems but <br />
elsewhere in the state there have been a few especially with dogs.<br />
Nothing technical but this ride is definitely a sleeper. We rode Three Forks <br />
as a loop but it can also be done as an out and back. Ride back down to CR <br />
217 turn left climb through a cool narrow canyon continue on to Triangle <br />
Park and turn left on FS 211 to three Forks Trail. We missed the singletrack <br />
on the way up. Thought I was looking for a road. Watch for it on the left <br />
about ¾ way up the hill. It would make the ride shorter but add more <br />
singletrack.<br />
Pick up a map at the Tourist Information Center just off I-70, the Forest <br />
Service center, or at the bike shop on Rail Road Ave

Directions

From Rifle drive north on HWY. 13 turn right on HWY 325 continue past Rifle <br /><br />Falls and the fish hatchery (both a worthy stop) continue about 6 miles turn <br /><br />left on Cr 274 drive ¼ mi. to the trailhead and park. About 20 miles total from <br /><br />Rifle.
