Givelo and Northwest Passage
Park at the John Work Arena rodeo grounds and head west on Givelo Trail. Givelo Trail is an easy single track that parallels CR 73. No climbing other than a few small dips in the trail. After a short distance you will cross CR 50S.
Continue on Givelo. You will cross a few driveways — be careful of cross-traffic. Givelo Trail will end at Northwest Passage. Turn right on Northwest Passage. Northwest Passage is about the same difficulty as the Givelo Trail. You will head north away from CR 73 through a thick, lodgepole pine forest. Northwest Passage will end on CR 50.
Turn around and retrace your route to return to your starting area. This ride is a great way to help anyone new to mountain biking gain confidence on dirt trails. The trail is flat and winds through lodge-pole pines. Funds from the Colorado Lottery helped build portions of the Givelo Trail.
Note: This is a good, first-time off-road experience or one for youngsters with moderate off-road skills. Not too difficult and no climbs makes this one of the easier rides in this area.
