The Mahogany Loop is a popular 11-mile mountain bike trail in the in Soapstone Prairie Natural Area, on the border of Colorado and Wyoming. Admission to the area is free through the City of Fort Collins. The loop is most commonly started from the north parking lot, and heads up through washes and ridges until it splits at the 2-mile mark into the Mahogany Loop. Riding counter-clockwise provides a longer, less steep ascent, while the clockwise route is steeper with rocky obstacles. The trail features fast and flowy singletrack on the descent. Magnificent views along the ridge over the rolling prairies is a highlight of the ride. It is generally a pretty easy, flowy trail, but it can be a little dry with gravel and sand in spots.
