Saxon Mountain Trail Description:
Saxon Mountain Road over to Lamartine Mine is one of those must ride trails in the Colorado Front Range. It’s rough, sketchy at times and maybe a bit long, but it’s worth every bump and heart-stopping swerve towards the edge. The views from the top of Saxon Mountain are intoxicating. When coming down the eastern side of the mountain you have the option to visit the Lamartine Mine, one of the largest mines in the area. And all this on a Dual Sport Day Trip.

From Heaven, Though the Woods, to Hell

Starting at Bailey on Highway 285, Sugarloaf Peak Trail cruises south through the verdant Pike National Forest before emerging into the hellish landscape of the Hayman burn-scar.

Descend. Cross Streams. Climb. Smile.

A fun descent through the woods followed by several stream crossings and a nice long climb make this another fantastic shortcut from Highway 24 to Highway 67. You’ll probably like it so much that you’ll turn around to ride it again and again.

Stream Crossings Through a Beautiful Valley – Follow Beaver Creek into the southern edge of the Hayman Burn before climbing back to hill tops with wide views.

The Backbone of the Rampart Range

Thirty-seven miles of gravel crossing dozens of trails that add up to hundreds of miles of Dual Sport riding in the Pike National Forest

Ghost Trains, Tunnels and Bridges

Originally a rail bed, Phantom Canyon Road is now part of the Gold Belt Scenic Byway. Following the path created for the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad, this route through a spectacular canyon climbs 4,424 feet in just under 30 miles.

Ride a Canyon Wall

From the high-altitude mining town of Cripple Creek, Shelf Road follows a canyon cutting through the Pikes Peak Massif down to Cañon City. Gorgeous scenery abounds through this entire route with distant mountain vistas, green valleys and red rock walls.
