What to expect on Camp Dick – Timberline Falls loop from Host
While the named loop might not exist, the mountain biking near Camp Dick, especially on the Buchanan Pass Trail, offers a journey through diverse landscapes. You'll ride through dense forests and expansive meadows, following the curves of the St. Vrain Creek. In summer, expect a rocky trail, but come winter, it transforms into a smoother, flowy singletrack perfect for fat biking. The trail involves a gradual, sustained climb, and some sections, particularly closer to the Indian Peaks Wilderness boundary, are very rocky and might require you to hike-a-bike. Keep your eyes peeled for moose, as they are common here year-round.
Planning your visit
The primary mountain biking access point, the Buchanan Pass Trail, starts at the end of County Road 92, just past the Camp Dick Campground. This trail is generally rated as difficult or Black Diamond. While accessible in summer, it truly shines for fat biking in winter when snow-packed conditions make for a fast and enjoyable ride. Always check local conditions before heading out, especially regarding snow or potential closures.
