Get a taste of our valley’s best gravel. This is about an 80-mile loop with bail out points. (There is a bike path that runs down the center of our valley called the Rio Grande.) We will start from our home in Carbondale and ride up Prince Creek (option to do some single track climbing). We will then descend West Sopris Creek Rd. to East Sopris Creek (there is a bail out point here), climb East Sopris Road to Elk Creek, and descend Elk Creek to Snowmass Creek Road (second bail out point). From here we will climb Snowmass Creek road all the way to Snowmass. (There is a third bail out point call Watson Divide that is some fun gravel in itself). In Snowmass we can stop at a grocery store for fuel refills before we start to work our way back down the valley. (Bail out point) In El Jebel we will climb up Upper Cattle Creek to Cattle Creek, and then we will descend towards Red Canyon coming down in Glenwood (last bail out point), before we climb up Sunlight to Dry Park, climb Dry Park road and descend back to the house.
