Route

The Course:
Calvin Crest mtb trail winds threw bluffs along the Platte River. 95% of the trail is in deciduous pine and cedar trees. The trail starts along the top of the bluff with swoopy descents and climbs averaging 5% or less. Throughout the trail you’ll flow along many false flats, through some choke points, and across bridges. Descend a 100' bluff via five switchbacks to the river bottom. Please stay off the suspension bridge. The trail flattens along the Platte River bottom before turning inland for a rolling quarter mile climb up the bluff face to a sidewalk that leads back to the parking lot.

One lap is just under 5 miles.

The Venue:
