The Best Winter MTB Trails - Colorado

- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Living in Colorado & riding your MTB on dirt in the winter is usually a luxury...but you can make it happen just about any time in Pueblo, CO. These trails are the best bang for your buck in terms of travel time & amount of various riding there is in the area! There are big mellow, flowy looks if you're looking for miles - if you're looking for techy flow, the canyons will deliver!
It's easy to spend literal hours in the canyons having sessions & playing around on the features that boast numerous alt lines, which makes doing the same canyon over & over a different trail almost every time.
We live in Longmont, CO so the drive to Pueblo is just a little over two hours which is well worth it to ride dirt, in our opinion, & if you can pull it off going during the week means having the whole place nearly to yourself. I think we saw 5 or 6 people during our 4 hours of riding.
Regardless of if you're looking for a day of big miles or some really fun descents - Lake Pueblo State Park in Pueblo, CO has the goods & is worth the drive.
If you get out there to check it out for yourself, let me know what you think in the comments & if you've been out already I'd love to hear what your favorite trail is!
Stay RAD,

Watching SR go down that one section gave me the chills 😳
HELL YA
You and me both brother…he eyed it up for a bit, said he wasn’t gonna do it, then a switch flipped & he went. So rad to see him get back to ripping!
Nice! I almost attended 'that' ride. I don't know you Sr, but super happy to see you back and conquering your demons. I know it's not easy. Currently looking at a surgical shoulder repair from a crash maybe 8 years ago. Mtb ain't easy but it's worth it! I gotta get to Pueblo soon...
Always hard to pick up the pieces but...thankfully it wasn't worse! Ah man, those surgeries are always daunting going into them but so worth it once you're through the rehab, hope it goes smooth for you!
If you get out to Pueblo we'd love to hear what you think!
All love Dave!

Love that place, we always camp by conduit , but never did the alt line on keyhole. Sr looked so good on the tech I usually walk that.
Right on! Would be rad to camp out there.
I was stoked to see him rolling so good yesterday, he’s comin’ back strong!!
That section you and Matt pushed up is accessible if you take a right turn when you get up to the top of Stonehenge.
That makes sense! Once we rode up Stonehenge I figured that’s where that offshoot went but we didn’t go explore it.
We should all go back down there soon!
Sr dropping in was nice 👏
yes!!!
Much love,
-Mike
Thats a cool spot to ride mountain bikes. Ive road dirtbikes there the past 17 years or so, would start down by pmi and ride out there.
Love that spot, havnt road out there for a few years now.
I never took the mountain bikes out there 🤔 that part with the "mini shale rock mountain" with the cliff edges would be fun.
My profile pics actually taken there from about 10 years ago😅
No kidding? that's rad as heck!!
Tanks for shear that piece of heaven man👌👍✌️🍻🍻🍻🍻
Of course!! Much love amigo.
Looks sweet. I will have to check that out.
It really is. 🕺🏻🪩
Would love to hear what you think when you do!!
I love Lake Pueblo. Moving back to COS in 52 days. Would love to ride with you! I'm probably right in the age bracket of Senior too.
Dude heck yea!! We’ll be back down that way a handful of times this winter so let’s make that happen, we’d love to cruise with you. 🫶🏻
I rode there a few weeks ago, and cannot believe how amazing it was! It was a great destination!
Dope!! Did you have a favorite trail?!
Years ago we met the original dudes who started digging out there & they tour guided us around, it was surreal!
It's a mini Fruita.
yes!!! it really is.
Great stuff…ridden a handful of times over the last year and enjoyed the hell out it each time. Even with a bad fall in my most recent trip and video. Nice one!!!
Thanks amigo!! Do you have a favorite trail there?!
That fall looked brutal - that section is so dang tricky, thankful you got out of that as well as you did. 🫶🏻
@@JoyOfBike Yeah...Lower Dog into Dead Dog as well as Rock Canyon (great drops all over to session) are two of my favorites.
Yeah...the offshoot in Hooter Canyon (where I fell) is typically ok. I just went with the line to the left, which includes the exposed spine and caught my pedal on the elevated slab on the left. Pulled me straight to the left and off the ledge, ha ha.
Ooo those are both epic!!
A couple of those lines sneak up on ya real quick! I've had a couple nasty spills out there from taking an unfamiliar line myself.
@@JoyOfBike yep…fun ones for sure. As a recent follower, been watching a number of your recent front range rides…all great stuff and having a blast. QQ: I def want to check out some of your coffee product…I need my iced coffees every morning…any stores in the Caste Rock area that carry it or only via online order? Can’t seem to find.
@@jarobiMTB so stoked to hear it! Thx for riding with us my friend. Hope to get out on trail with you some day.
We’re primarily online at the moment - hoping to expand distribution later this year!! If you have any product question let me know 🫶🏻
I live out there, the Res is a great place to ride, very close to me. But most of the time I drive past it and out to Canon (read as canyon) City and hop on a number of different trails out there, they just have more personality....and shade.
I've actually never been out to those trails but always heard great things & shade is definitely nice, once it starts warming up!! What trails should I check out there?
Much love,
-Mike
I still need to ride in Pueblo. Only time I took my bike down there I got sick after I ate a slopper 😂.
Dang!! Haha.
You’d have fun, it’s so jibby.
Love the cross generation positivity 🤙
That’s the beauty of a bicycle, it’s the great equalizer! We had a BMX session other day, we realized between the youngest & oldest was a FIFTY year difference…we were all having a blast! Haha.
That's fantastic haha!@@JoyOfBike
Some sick riding, maybe a little extreme for me lol. Any good intermediate trails out there?
yes!! the whole west side is VERY mellow & flowy.
Yooo I live in Pueblo. I hope to see you all down here sometime!
We’re planning to come back soon for a BMX session soon!!!
@JoyOfBike I would love to link up for a session !
@@lowborncrew let’s make it happen!!!
You guys have to do Phils World near Cortez
Definitely adding this to the list!! From the quick google search I just did it looks unreal!
@@JoyOfBike The locals that build and maintain are saints. It's groomed, massive, and some of the best trails I've seen.
definitely stoked to get out there & check it out!!
Fruita is pretty well dry right now, too
We have a trip planned out that way in March but hoping to get out there even earlier - it's a little over the drive time so we usually make a long weekend of it! Do you live in the area?!
I LOVE the riding out there.
I just rode there also a few days ago, they had a half to 1 inch of snow, so I rode the cow trails in and all the new stuff they just built, which is amazing!! they seem to be still building some beautiful trails right now!
Rad!! I love how much they invest into MTB in that area. Between GJ & Fruita it gets harder & harder each year to keep driving to Moab..
@@JoyOfBike 😂 we dove right through Moab; Glendo Curt Gowdy, Pueblo, Durango, Fruita, Grand Junction
haha I love it!! Moab is great...but there are so many other spots these days that are also GREAT!!
It’s not a secret..😊
To some it still is ;)
Where is this located in Colorado
This is in Pueblo, CO right next to Lake Pueblo!
