    Mountain biking

    The starting point for the 18 road trails. From here, fun uphill trails lead to the starting points of the descents, which also end here. The area is the perfect introduction to the trails around Fruita: varying – mostly moderate – difficulty levels, and after each descent, you decide whether to pedal back up for another lap.
