Our Newest Trail - Zipline! - Now Under Construction
That's the working title, anyway. We're building a new mile or so of singletrack at the entrance to Bear Creek Canyon which will connect Gold Camp Road, the Canyon, Bear Creek Regional Park and the Section 16 parking lot. These are going to be exciting trails with amazing views, lots of vertical and some technical options. Click to help build it or to find out more

New Pueblo Reservoir Maps
Since a lot of us like to ride the south shore trails at Pueblo Reservoir in the winter, MWTA has put up a new set of detailed maps on our maps page. Go here for a copy.
Red Rocks Canyon Park - The Next Step - Freeride/Skills Area
See our successes page for some history on Red Rocks Park.
For 2009, we are hoping to build the next phase of the freeride/skills area. With the help of some folks from SRAM, preliminary drawings have been approved by the city for a series of dirt jumps and fun vertical features. This is going to be fun!
Here's the summary of the master plan on the City's web site.
