Living in Colorado & riding your MTB on dirt in the winter is usually a luxury...but you can make it happen just about any time in Pueblo, CO. These trails are the best bang for your buck in terms of travel time & amount of various riding there is in the area! There are big mellow, flowy looks if you're looking for miles - if you're looking for techy flow, the canyons will deliver!
It's easy to spend literal hours in the canyons having sessions & playing around on the features that boast numerous alt lines, which makes doing the same canyon over & over a different trail almost every time.
We live in Longmont, CO so the drive to Pueblo is just a little over two hours which is well worth it to ride dirt, in our opinion, & if you can pull it off going during the week means having the whole place nearly to yourself. I think we saw 5 or 6 people during our 4 hours of riding.
Regardless of if you're looking for a day of big miles or some really fun descents - Lake Pueblo State Park in Pueblo, CO has the goods & is worth the drive.
If you get out there to check it out for yourself, let me know what you think in the comments & if you've been out already I'd love to hear what your favorite trail is!
Stay RAD,
