How to get there:
Drive Interstate 70 west to Exit 163 (Edwards). Turn right on Beard Creek Rd and drive 0.35 miles to Moonridge Drive. Parking is available at the trailhead.

Description:
From the parking area (see below), start riding east on Berry Creek Rd. The road will bend north toward the Berry Creek drainage after about 0.30 miles. Continue riding uphill for another 0.75 miles to an intersection. Turn left here and climb steeply 0.40 miles to the ridge. Stay right and continue riding steadily uphill. This section will make a sweeping left turn towards the west. After about 0.80 miles, look for a faint doubletrack on the left. Turn here and ride through a grassy meadow. After 0.5 miles the descent into Endo Alley begins. Take care through this section, as the downhill can be rutted and loose. From the bottom, the route climbs back to the ridge. Turn right at the top and continue down the steep and loose doubletrack back to the trailhead and the beginning of the ride.
