Fishers Peak State Park Full Tour 2022
Fishers Peak State Park is 20,000 acres of untouched terrain being developed over the next few years into 70+ miles of trail. This first taste gets you close to the peak with a incredible views. Rock outcroppings, deep pine woods, scrub oak, and desert terrain all await. Oh, and you'll get to finish with a few miles of MTB-only downhill trail stacked with fun features including tech rock sections, flowy berms, and tabletop jumps.
Trinidad Gravel Quickie
If you’re short on time or just aren’t in the mood for an epic ride, this quick gravel jaunt will get you a nice climb with great views of Fishers Peak as well as the city and mountains to the west, plus a bonus visit to a ghost town.
Barela Loop (Trinidad Classic)
This route features some of the best scenery in the area even though it takes you east, away from the mountains.
Poison Canyon Downhill MTB loop
The first MTB-only downhill trail in Fishers Peak State Park offers a short but fun mix of tech, flow, berms, and jumps.
Bike Path to Boulevard Trail
A nice easy ride through town along the bike path. Look out for deer and other critters, or take a break by the Purgatoire river.
Burro Canyon
Burro Canyon is a quick local loop with that offers a nice slice of gravel and a solid climb. It can be ridden clockwise or counterclockwise, though climbing Burro Canyon lets you soak in the scenery a bit longer.
Berwind Canyon via Boncarbo
The Truck Wall descent! This is a Las Animas county iconic route. Discover what Trinidad gravel is all about on this scenic ride through the canyons northwest of town.
The Lake Loop
This is one of Trinidad’s classic routes, taking you along The Highway of Legends past Cokedale. You’ll escape the pavement for gravel bliss at Madrid Bridge, tackling a solid climb before descending down to Long’s Canyon Trail, where you’ll enter Trinidad Lake State Park.
Reilly Canyon
Not for the faint of heart, Reilly Canyon offers technical cross-country style mountain biking in the form of a 4.5 mile out and back along the bluffs above the northern edge of Trinidad Lake State Park.
Wormhole Trails
There are many ways to ride the Wormhole and new spur trails just appear sometimes. We recommend at least two laps and if you feel like you need some extra climbing, at the end of Crossbed Way (the trail going south from the parking lot), you can climb the gravel road to the top of Simpson’s Rest and the iconic Trinidad sign.
