Trail Location

Take U.S. 287 north from Ft. Collins to LaPorte, then turn left onto CR52E. Continue up Rist Canyon 13 miles. Park at the stop sign located after the steep downhill. Ride dirt road west of intersection. You can also ride Old Flowers Road as a loop in combination with Pennock Pass Road, but we recommend doing that with an experienced rider so you don't miss the critical turn.
