After over a decade of work by The Colorado Trail Foundation and partners, the South Fooses Creek trail, which is part of the nationally recognized Monarch Crest mountain bike ride, realignment is officially open! This new realignment is about three miles long and is a product of partnership and collaboration between CTF, USFS, Colorado Mountain Club, and many other partners! The CTF is proud to share this news and more background on this project.You can read the full post on The Colorado Trail Foundation blog.
Trail users might remember this section of The Colorado Trail, which is near the southern terminus of Collegiate East on Segment 15, as one of the steepest sections of the entire trail. The realignment will offer sustainable grades utilizing switchbacks, excellent views of the valley and the Monarch Crest (portions of which can be done as an outstanding day hike), and improved camp sites and water access....
