Flag Creek/Bear Creek/Deadman Loop

Trail Description:
This thing has some of the best singletrack known to man. It is narrow and fast. I don't know if there is anywhere with better single than deadman's gulch.

How to get there:
From Crested Butte: Go south on Rt 135 to Cement Creek Rd. Go 6.5 miles to the Deadman's Trail parking area. Ride east up Cement Creek Rd and 2 miles after the switchback, go right onto Reno Divide Rd. At the top, go through the gate and head down the Flag Creek Trail. Stay on the Bear Creek Trail at all times!

This is some of the most amazing, quick singletrack anywhere! Terrain varies from quick rolling shute-like downhill through meadows, to tight, rocky, switchback trails through Aspen groves. That climb up Reno, though (ouch- but WORTH it!)

The climb up Reno Divide is a real huffer-puffer. Coming down Deadman's Gulch is awesome. In the fall the motorcycles tend to make huge ruts that really increase the difficulty. Prepare to endo!
