Need to know: An entry fee is required to park without getting a ticket. It is monitored. If you ride here a lot, the Larimer parks annual pass is worth the investment.
E-bikes are also not allowed on natural surface trails in Larimer county. That can always change, so check Larimer county website for updates.
Blue Sky is a very casual ride with great flow over lightly rolling terrain. It's essentially all singletrack with only one section of steps that most people will walk, though advanced riders can usually figure out a line.
Note that Blue Sky does have quite a number of blind turns and the trail can be quite popular on weekends, so be careful.
The featured route is the Blue Sky Indian summer loop, which is 11 miles. This trailhead can lead you to Indian summer as well as Devil's Backbone if you want a longer ride.
