This gravel ride was originally created by Gravel Bike Adventures! Check out their website via the website button below or at gravelbikeadventures.com for some great gravel bike rides and resources.
The dirt road surface of Old Fall River Road is really smooth. (it was once paved and now has gravel and dirt on top of it.) Trail Ridge Road was recently paved so it is in pristine condition and makes for a screaming fast decent.
The top of this route is at 12,183 ft and is typically 20-30º cooler than down in Estes Park. Be prepared with extra clothes like gloves, wind jacket and leg warmers.
