Glenwood Canyon Bike Trail

Today we decided to ride the bike trail through Glenwood Canyon. It runs parallel to I-70 east towards Denver from Glenwood Springs to Bair Ranch. Total trail is approximately 16 miles one-way. It's about a 4.5 to 5% grade uphill to Bair Ranch.

We took a modified version and started at the No Name trail head. Really, it is called No Name, Co!
Starting at No Name there is a long descent which is great till its time to come back. You ride along the Colorado River the entire trip and will see many white water rafters coming down. There are about 3 rest stops that have bathrooms and shade for breaks if needed. Our total trip was only about 12.5 miles but it was beautiful. Next year I'd like to make the full 32 mile round trip. Meagan and Bill came and Meagan smoked all of us on the ride back.

Its definitely worth the trip and you can make it as long or short as you want.
