Mountain Bike

A working cattle ranch that has multiple trails - some are open to bikes. Combination dirt road, doubletrack, and singletrack. There is a lot of singletrack along the dirt roads. One moderate climb/decent with waterbars. Good views of the plains, mountains, and Boulder Valley. From the Foothills trailhead, take Eagle Trail to Boulder Reservoir. Turn around, and connect with Sage Trail, back to Eagle Trail and return. Courtesy of Singletracks.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
