This can be as long or short as you wish, depending on the route you choose. If you are adventurous and want to explore, this is the perfect place because most every trail leads back to the main trail and for that reason is referred to as the Spaghetti Bowl. In the bowl, mountain bikers have many choices for length of ride and degree of difficulty, but don't worry, you won't get lost. Cedar Creek is a popular choice since it is very close to town yet the trails take you away from the beaten path. Cedar Creek is the perfect place to kick in the gears and elevate that heart rate as you glide among the pines and aspens in their natural habitat. Ride altitude is about 6540 feet.
Across from the Smokey Bear Ranger Station off Mechem Drive (North on 48 from Midtown). Stop by the Smokey Bear Ranger station for a good map... AND BE NICE TO THEM! they really try to be helpful, but there are some obnoxious people who have been VERY demanding and the rangers then are less than helpful.
