Standard Route: 13 miles with 2150 feet of climbing/descending.
This is a cool new trail system located 30 miles west of Denver in the heart of Colorado's gold rush hills, the town of Black Hawk sits in an area full of trail potential and mining-era riches. The City acquired the 600-acre property just north of town to create the Maryland Mountain Recreational Park and have successfully built approximately 12 miles of trail for hiking, running, and mountain biking. COMBA got involved during the design & construction phase and successfully advocated for the addition of four bike-only, downhill-directional trails to the master plan. We will ride the new Ore Chute trail but there are alternate routes available for those that are not up for it.
