This is the premier single track bike trail, which runs from Peaceful Valley Campground to Rainbow Lakes FDR 298, passing through Brainard Recreation Area, with a correspondingly high level of use. The southern half, done in the more downhill direction from Brainard to Rainbow Lake Road (perhaps with a return via the Peak-to-Peak Highway) is moderate. The northern end of the trail is more steep and technical. The steep, loose rock climb/descent to the Middle Saint Vrain is especially difficult.
This trailhead is located near Ward of the Peak-to-Peak Highway. Access points are at Peaceful Valley, Beaver Reservoir, Beaver Bog, Brainard Lake Road east of Red Rock Lake and the Rainbow Lakes/Mountain Research Station Road.
