Have you ever ridden in the Fourmile Recreation Area and wished for a more tranquil (fewer ATVs) backcountry experience? This ride, a shorter version of the Spring Creek Loop, is an excellent alternative. Though open to jeeps, motorcycles, and ATVs, the area sees few visitors and you are very unlikely to suck dust and exhaust as you serenely spin this one. The riding surface is refreshingly bereft of tracks and nature is slowly narrowing the lines. Though the eastern side of the loop is technically double-track, the trail is overgrown and much of it rides like parallel lines of elegant single-track.
