Places to Ride

Tiger Run: Breckenridge Co.

Take I-70 to the Frisco (Hwy 9) exit, go south toward Breckenridge 6-8 miles to Tiger Road (stop light). Go left and go about 5 miles and look for a road to the left. There may be a sign that says North Fork of the Swan. Go another half mile and there is a meadow to camp in.
A lot of riding above tree line very scenic, you can see for miles in every direction. Trails are some what rough and rocky, you could spend about three days here and not really see all of it.

Bald Mountain / Mushroom Gulch: Buena VistaCo.

To get there take Hwy 285 like you are going to Buena Vista. About 6 or 7 miles after Antero Junction There will be a turn-off to the left just before the small bridge that goes over Trout Creek. That will be County Rd. 307. Go down that road less than a mile and turn left on County Rd. 308 which is Mushroom Gulch. Camping is generally back up 308 a mile or two on the right in a nice meadow. Trails are smoother again very scenic, you can spend a lot of time here as well.
