Ride Summary:
Enjoyable loop ride for beginners and intermediate riders looking for a nice cruise on some dirt roads.
Trail Description:
From the Switzerland Trail parking lot, take the left-hand road with a sign pointing to Glacier Lake. Follow this road, staying on it at all junctions, to its end at the Peak to Peak Hwy. (Hwy. 72). Carefully cross the highway and join the dirt road on the other side (CR 103). Descend 3 miles to its end back at the Peak to Peak Hwy. Turn right on the highway, ride 0.1 miles and take your first left on the Sugarloaf Road (BC 122). Climb, descend and climb again until you intersect Sugar Mountain Road, soon after the road turns from dirt to asphalt. Turn left and climb steeply for one mile back to the start.
How to get there:
From Canyon and Broadway in Boulder, drive 5.4 miles west on Canyon (Hwy. 119) toward Nederland. Shortly after passing through a tunnel, turn right on Sugarloaf Road (5.4 miles from Boulder) and go five miles to Sugar Mountain Road. Turn right and continue 0.9 miles to the trailhead parking.

The start is completely ambiguous, thre are many trails leading in all different direcitions. There are signs but they're too faded to read. I spent 45 min. trying to figure out where it started and ended up just packing it in.
