Mountain Biking, Hiking or Horseback Riding in Colorado
One of the many things that people come to Colorado for is to see the beauty of the mountains up close and personal. There really isn’t a much better way to do that than by taking a bike, horse or good pair of walking shoes and heading out to Young Gulch Mountain Bike Trail near Fort Collins. Here you will be able to see the mountains as those that saw them 100 + years ago did.
The trails are not easy to ride, there are challenges with all the streams and crossings, whether you are on bike, horse or walking. You must be prepared to get your feet wet on this trail. There are rocks and roots that you will need to contend with along with the streams. The biking will make you realize that paved is easier, but not nearly as much fun!
Due to the coverage the ride will be cool, the forested areas a Mecca of color and smells that only nature can provide. Taking time to stop and really look around you will give you a sense of peace that you may not have had for some time. Just look at the beauty, smell the aroma and enjoy the quiet. This is truly a wonderful way to spend a day or more.
