Colorado Trail This section of the Colorado trail is beautiful and full of great scenery and fun single track. Many people use this trail for hiking and biking, so encounters with other travelers in not uncommon. Nonetheless, this is one of my favorite trails. You can either make a loop or do an in/out ride. The trail will be covered with snow until sometime in June, so respect the soil and do not ride until it is dry. The best place to park is either in the town of Breckenridge Free parking or at the Breckenridge Golf course off of Tiger Road. Follow Tiger Road up until you come to a fork in the road (approx. 5 miles). Turn Right onto the Middle/South fork of the Swan. At the next junction head to the Middle fork. This steep hill heads to a campground. Before the campground, look for a single track trail on the left-hand side and follow that up. As the trail switchbacks up the mountain you will see some old clear-cut sections of forest, past a few streams, and up to the top where you are rewarded with an amazing view of the outback of Keystone. From this point the downhill begins. It starts off rolling and then glides around tight corners through forested hillsides above the Swan River Valley. The trail will come to a T. To the right will take you to Keystone and to the left back to your car. Continue left and when you come to a meadow the trail becomes a bit difficult to see. Look for the trail on the other side of the river (there are two wood planks to cross). After another hill the trail descends all the way to Tiger Road RV Resort right off of Highway 9. The whole loop is about 25 miles and well worth it!
