Painter Boy (Beginner/Intermediate)
This longtime Crested Butte favorite takes you through fields of wildflowers and beautiful stands of aspen trees.  A great connector trail, Painter Boy can be accessed by the Red Lady Express via Horseshoe or the Luge Trails. 

Meander (Intermediate)
The name says it all.  Meander your way through a beautiful mountain landscape on excellent single track that overlooks the East River valley.  Follow Gothic Road back to the base or climb up Prospector to the top of Painter Boy.

Horseshoe (Intermediate)
Horseshoe skirts along the base of some of Crested Butte’s famous steep terrain and allows you to connect the Westside trail with Meander, Painter Boy and Columbine to make an incredible cross country loop from the base area.

Prospector (Intermediate)
Enjoy over two miles of classic Colorado singletrack that winds through alpine meadows and pine forest. This intermediate singletrack takes you to Gothic Rd where you can pedal back to the base area or use it to link with Meander or Snodgrass.

Columbine (Intermediate)
Wind your way up Columbine Hill through grassy meadows and Aspen forest.  From the top of Columbine trail loop around Horseshoe and Westside for a longer day, or explore one of the many other great options back to the base area.

Westside (Expert)
Westside is an epic new piece of single track that will keep you smiling.  Flowing trail sections through forests of aspen and pine are the highlight of this ride.  Westside can also be ridden as an intermediate cross country ride from the top of Red Lady Lift to the base area. 

Avery (Expert)
Avery is the Downhill race course for the annual Wildflower Rush.   Avery throws a little of everything your way as you descend through pine forest, rock gardens, fast open terrain, and man made jumps. You can also finish this run on the Mountain Cross track.  Downhill recommended.

Wood’s Trail (Expert)
A smooth gravity fed trail with a mix of man made obstacles throughout.  Ride the top of Luge and then pedal out through the upper section of Painter Boy to access this trail.  This is a downhill recommended trail that requires riding Gothic Road back to the base area.

Psycho Rocks (Expert)
Begin on Avery and head left shortly from the start. Psycho Rocks is the most technical trail at the resort.  It starts with a series of technical features and then fast and flowing until you hit Psycho Rocks where you must be prepared to select lines through massive boulders and extensive bridging.
