This is a sweet descent down to the North Saint Vrain River, then the trail follows the river upstream a couple of miles. It is easy to follow. When you get to the bottom, take a right. (You can go left and into Button Rock Preserve if you're not biking.) There are other trails in this area and it may be posible to turn this into a loop. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Add ResourceNever 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.
