THE RIDE:

The Seven Bridges Trail crawls up North Cheyenne Canyon. It follows and crosses the creek, and the creek compliments the trail the whole way.


THE ROUTE:

This trail is a bit of a challenge. The whole thing is littered with rocks and tree roots. The ride sometimes feels like a hike. And some obstacles are too much to negotiate.

But the ride down is something else! There are rocky steps and little drops the whole way. Every obstacle that won on the way up, makes the descent even better.

Make sure to enjoy the creek on the way up—the hiking sections make that very possible- because you wont even know it’s there on the way down.


GOOD TO KNOW:

-If you don’t like getting off your bike, I’d ride something else.

-There are hikers on this trail, but there aren’t too many blind corners. Just be aware and try to stay in control.

-Ride up Jones Downhill and then down 7 bridges. Making this trip a loop takes out most of the hiking. Soon, I’ll post a trail guide describing the route.

-This isn’t a good place for a digger. Rocks are unforgiving.
