Summer 2010 - Stephanie's Trail (it was Zipline) - Bonus Loop!
During 2009, we built a new mile or so of singletrack at the entrance to Bear Creek Canyon which connects Gold Camp Road, the Canyon, Bear Creek Regional Park and the Section 16 parking lot. This is an exciting new trail with amazing views, lots of vertical and some technical options. In 2010 we're adding on an extra loop and building a bridge at the Bear Creek crossing.

Red Rocks Canyon Park - The Next Step - Freeride/Skills Area
See our successes page for some history on Red Rocks Park.
For 2009, we teamed of with the help of SRAM Corporation and built the C Line trail in Red Rocks Canyon Park. These are BIG jumps and tabletops with lots of vertical. It's on the hill above the skills park, just east of the main parking lot.
Here's the summary of the master plan on the City's web site.
