Come on down to Glenwood Springs this Thursday October 5th to celebrate the completion of the newest Trail in town, the Grandstaff Trail. We'll kick things off with a ribbon cutting. We'll have a shuttle at the trailhead but feel free to hike or bike as well. If you plan on riding your bike, please park at the Glenwood Springs Rec Center and ride your bike over on the Olsen Trail. You can also download a map of the trail system which includes the location of the ribbon cutting ceremony.
We all know Tom Blake the trail. . . traversing from Owl Creek road to Snowmass Village with singletrack that is buttery smooth, and gently pitched, with perfect corners, and bursting columbines. In the fall the trail becomes a golden path to enlightenment as the aspens make their seasonal transformation. But who was Tom Blake the person?

With the mountain biking season underway we thought it was a good time to reflect on what keeps us coming back to this sport season after season, and the things we do to keep our passion for the sport alive. Good weather, great trails, and even better riding friends are always at the heart of an epic day on the bike, but there is so much more.

Ute Land Acknowledgement
Many of the trails in the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond exist within the ancestral territory of the Uncompahgre Tribe of the Ute Nation or Nuche. We honor the inherent stewardship that native people have for the land, waters, and air in which all trail users continue to have the privilege to revel in. We strive to learn from the Ute tradition of living in harmony with the environment, and take action to sustain it for generations to come.
