Hello, Colorado Mountains! The ultimate here is the P2P track, although it can be done as a loop, but that means quite a bit of riding on tar road, which will take you away from the panoramic views and 10 miles of magnificent single track you've been itching for. Be prepared for a lot of climbing and descending, but this 3 to 6 hour trail is definitely worth it.
