Summit County, CO Off-Road Riders

The Rides:

You can help SCORR, our sport and our environment by
staying on the trail.

Dillon Tenderfoot area:

Take the Silverthorne exit off of I-70 and go south towards Keystone. At the end of Lake Dillon, take a left into Dillon Cemetary. Take the first right to a parking area on the right of the cemetary. It has a primitive motocross track and a short hairscrambles ride next to the parking lot.

This also accesses several trails to the Eisenhower tunnel to the left and Keystone area to the right. Please respect closed signs, but understand that they are confusing depending on which way you're going. We're working on this problem.

The Eisenhower tunnel may have to be accessed a few miles before this at the street light for "Downtown Dillon" on the right and the "Lord of the Mountains" Church on the left, heading towards Keystone. Look for a dirt road on the left that parallels the highway. This is a moderate to extreme half day ride.

Breckenridge Horseshoe Area and Beyond:

Take the Frisco/ Breckenridge exit and head towards Breckenridge. Take a left at the Breckenridge Golf Club and drive until the road turns to dirt and then keep going for another few miles. This accesses the best riding in the county and beyond.

North Fork of the Swan, Middle fork, Georgia Pass, places called Radical Hill and Red Mountain and wild single track just to the south of Breckenridge. Do loops to Montezuma and Saint Johns. Find a map and leave bread crumbs. Extreme full day ride with camping potential. This can also be accessed from French Gulch in Breckenridge and Montezuma, CO.

Frisco Miners Creek: A short ride with a few side adventures:

Take the Frisco exit off of I-70. Take a right at the county/ library area just past the town, take the first right then quick left, cross the bike path and park. Stay on the jeep road until you hit the wilderness area. Then come back. Moderate ride with technical boulders during the last mile and a half. The side rides are above and to the west of Rainbow Lake. Several primitive camp sites are past the first water crossing.

Vail Pass: An easy to moderate ride on mostly fire roads:

Go to Vail Pass and park on the dirt frontage road away from the rest stop. Passanger cars are on this road so stay right and keep your speed down. A few side trails that deadend and one extreme ride with large boulders that deadends at treeline.

Bocco Mountain in Wolcott, CO.
Extreme custom-built single track:

This is an expert riding area that will kick your butt. Otherwise, what Heaven looks like to a dirt biker.

Take Wolcott/ exit 157 off of I-70 and go north a few miles. The dump road is on the right. Take the next left on "Horse Mountain Road". Drive a few miles to a parking area and ride the BLM and local motorcycle club built single track. A map is available with the link below. 15 miles of expert loop. ATV's can only ride on the main jeep roads. Another riding area is across route 131 between the dump and I-70. Look for single track trails off of 131 and do it. Very steep.

The Ski Areas: OHV's not welcome. Use the chairlifts to go up and mountain bike down instead. Several have built great downhill obstacle courses and single track for mountain bikes.
