Rampart Range To Open Saturday 5/12!

Rampart Range has been either snow blocked or recently closed due to trail damage over the last couple of months. Finally, the forest service has given the go ahead to lift the closure and reopen the trails as of Saturday May 12th!

Edit: We visited Rampart Range on Sunday 5/13 and found the trails to be easily rideable for a good 10 miles North of the main parking lot at the top of Rampart Range Road. Both the intermediate and beginner trails were rideable. There was some snow, albeit minimal (at the 10 mile mark), it didn't really effect the trails. The snow melt had caused some trails to become "mud boggy" and one trails had actually turned into a creek - both of these types of trails should be avoided to not wear down the trails any more. Plus, it isn't fun getting stuck in 2 feet of mud!

The trails were busy, so keep an eye out for oncoming riders. Stay off the road, stay on the trails, wear your safety gear and have fun!
