COURSE DESCRIPTION
From the staging area on County Road 50 ride approximately 3 miles
to the Tipperary Creek Trail Head. Turn left and begin the climb
but pace yourself...it is a long and steady climb. After the second
stream crossing, the trail begins to level out for a short distance
before reaching the top of Morse Pass. The downhill section that
ensues is fast and furious, so hold on tight.
At the bottom of the pass is St. Louis Creek Road. Turn
right, then immediately turn left onto Road # 159, drop down,
cross the creek, and then climb briefly to the Flume Trail.
Turn left on the Flume and enjoy. This is one of the best
single tracks in the valley. Follow this trail to a small
pond where it becomes Chainsaw.
Prepare for a short but tough climb up Chainsaw. At the
thinned out timber, make a right turn on a double track trail.
This trail intersects with Zoom. Stay left and follow Chainsaw
out to Elk Creek Road.
Continue to the right up Elk Creek Road to the Elk Meadow
Trail two hundred yards ahead on the left. The trail starts
as a double track and funnels into a single track. Cross the
creek and ride on this rolling single track until it intersects
with D2 road.
Turn left on D2, cross the stream, and pace yourself up
a long hill. Many dead end trails intersect with D2 so stay
on the main road. D2 will intersect with D2 Green on the right.
Stay left and continue climbing to where D2 meets WTB Trail.
Veer to you left and ride this famous local’s trail to the
intersection with D4.
Turn left on D4 and follow this double track down a rocky
descent to Big Vasquez Road # 148. Turn sharply to the right
up Road # 148 and follow it to the Vasquez Ford. Cross through
the stream and ride about 200 yards to Blue Sky trail.
Turn left on Blue Sky and descend on this wide single track.
At the bottom of Blue Sky, cross a bridge just before meeting
the Little Vasquez trail. Turn left and then quickly right
onto the Ice Hill trail. Stay on this single track until it
joins the Tracks Trail next to the railroad tracks. Turn right
onto Lower Cherokee and prepare for your last climb. (Beginner
Category will go straight to Serenity)
At the top of Lower Cherokee turn left and cruise across
Tunnel Hill Road to the intersection of the Long Trail. Turn
left and descend the Long Trail to the base of Winter Park
Ski Area and the finish line.
