Golden

Adaptive climbing trail off CBT Mainline. Part of Golden's first adaptive trail network built by the Golden Cycling Club. Sits ~582 m from Twisted Sister junction on the CBT network.

Figure-8 loop that bumps and winds through the forest with no significant hills — perfect for learning riders and families. Also serves as the access trail to Berminator and Woodlot Ride. Located in Mountain Shadows at the base of Mount 7.

Built and maintained through joint effort on the part of the local Rotary Club and the Town of Golden, this double-wide pathway circumnavigates the south half of town. The pathway is widely used by pedestrians, dog walkers, and bike commuters. The most visible section of this trail runs along the south side of the Kicking Horse River passing the timber frame pedestrian bridge and continuing upstream to the Municipal Campground. However, the trail does continue on either side of these points to form a loop.As of 2017 the trail is more family friendly and compatible to pulling a bike trailer (eg Chariot) through the entire loop. This was done by extending the switchbacks behind the Municipal Campground. Note: you still need to negotiate the moderately steep section which overlooks Reflection Lake and the rodeo grounds. Therefore, follow the trail in a clockwise direction if pulling a chariot – that way you can coast down that section.From a mountain biking perspective the Rotary Trail can be used to access several jumping-off points to the main trail systems. You can use it to reach the trails of Mtn Shadows, Mt 7, or it will even send you off in the direction of the CBT Mainline trail network.Note: The southern portion of the Rotary Trail leaves the pathway in the area of 13th St and is hard to follow if trying to complete the full loop. Have a good look at the map to aid in navigating this section.

Adaptive Blue descent (aMTB 2 rating). Obstacles exist — support rider recommended. Connects Twisted Sister to CBT Parking Area. One of Golden's first adaptive trails, built by GCC.

This is a fun machine built progression jump line well worth checking out. Each jump has a landing for novice and intermediate level jumpers this means the trail flows for all levels even those rolling the jumps making it a very family friendly trail. There are a couple of trail crossings to be aware of however they are not particularly high speed crossings.

Adaptive Green descent (aMTB 1 rating). No obstacles — wide enough to ride solo confidently. Gentle downhill that connects Twisted Sister to the CBT Parking Area. Ideal for beginners and families.

Woodlot ride can be used in combination with 7 Up and Bush Party as an alternate to pedalling up the Bowle-Evans Road. It is a combination of skidder road and double track, which most riders find preferable to the road. It is more enjoyable to ride 7 Up and Bush Party to access Woodlot Ride, rather than riding up Woodlot Ride right from the bottom. If climbing Woodlot Ride, you will be spit out onto the Peter Bowle Evans road. If you continue up the road for 200m you will find the newly the entrance onto Schacher trail climbing up on the left side of the road. Access Info Access off of Bush Party. The trail is unsigned.
