Waterin' Hole Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Waterin' Hole Loop Trail is one of a few trails on the property. There aren't a ton of hills, and there are lots of views since you spend the majority of your time on grassy singletrack trails out in the open. These trails are on Highlands Ranch Community Association (HRCA) Backcountry Wilderness Area property and are subject to closure by the owners.

Waterin' Hole Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

I often see deer, turkey, and rattlesnakes here. Keep your eyes open. Be cautious around blind curves. Great flowing singletrack with a few intermediate sections.

East/West Regional Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a relatively gentle multi-use trail; you could probably get by with a gravel bike, but it's definitely not made for skinny tires. Altogether the trail is about 27 miles one-way, and there are easily a half-dozen trail connectors to help you shape the perfect ride.
