Walker Ranch Loop is a fantastic mountain biking trail through Walker Ranch Park and a portion of El Dorado Canyon State Park. The loop can be done in either direction.

Going clockwise from the Walker Ranch Parking Access, the trail starts downhill then offers a nice climb that opens up at the top at the Crescent Meadows Trailhead parking area. From here it’s a two mile descent followed by a short portion down very steep steps, followed by another moderate climb back to the trailhead.

The trail is primarily gravel and loose dirt. The loop offers great scenic views and a beautiful river.

There are 46 parking spots at the trailhead including 2 wheelchair-accessible parking spots, a restroom and picnic tables.The loop can be done in either direction.
