Buffalo Pass, Colorado, will delight sporting enthusiasts. Those into biking, who desire fast, generally smooth and rolling single-track with a smattering of climbing and technical sections, will find Buffalo Pass to be a total delight.
The Buffalo Pass trailhead (about 15 miles out of town), after a short climb the trail levels out and trends downward over the next 7 or 8 miles. The trail is a mixture of smooth, cool forest sections, short uphills, and overall very fast riding. You'll have the time of your life!
There is very little technical riding necessary. After one series of switchbacks uphill and one series down, you will begin the final ascent to the ski area. Once you reach the top, you owe it to yourself to ride a few hundred feet west to the big chair lift and take in the view from the top! You will be looking down on the town of Steamboat.
