Trail Conditions

November 2024

PLEASE RESPECT ALL TRAILS AND DO NOT RIDE UNTIL THEY DRY AFTER A RAIN!

Palisade Rim Trail – The upper loops are in fair shape, the Palisade Plunge trail is not recommended due to flash flood damage in the creek beds and rock slide that you will have to hike a bike across the slide path. Please do not ride if the trails are muddy.

Palisade Plunge Trail – The Palisade Plunge is snow covered from Mesa Top to the last Lands End Road crossing. If you want to ride the last 17 miles of the Plunge park or get dropped off at the Wild Rose Picnic parking lot and ride up Lands End Road to the intersection of the Plunge. There is a large rockslide and trial damage on the last mile of the trail. You can take the last connector on the Rim Trail or hike a bike across the slide. The Emergency bailout is well marked if you’re running low on water, have a mechanical issue or are getting tired. The Last 10 miles of the trail is very narrow and exposed and spots are more off-camber than normal. Please use caution and carry enough water. The Palisade Plunge is not an easy trail, you will pedal the whole ride – it is a great single track adventure for advanced riders. The trail closes for the season November 1, 2024.

Deep Creek trail to the Plunge to Powderhorn – Snow-covered.

County Line and Skyway trails – Closed for the season to bikes.

West Bench Trail – Snow-covered, this is a good fat tire snow bike ride.
