How to Get There:
Drive west on Interstate 70 to Exit 147 (Eagle). Go right through the roundabout and then turn left on Capitol St. Drive 0.75 through Eagle to an intersection with Brush Creek Rd. Continue straight through the stop sign and down the hill. Go past the Capital Hill Movie Theater and take a left onto Sylvan Lake Road. Then take the next right onto Eagle Ranch Road. Drive 1.5 miles and turn right on Fourth of July Rd. Parking is available here where the road turns to dirt, just past Callie Ct.

Description:
There are three main trails that make up the Eagle Ranch Loops.

Bailey Trail (1.05 miles): Singletrack that connects 2nd and 3rd Gulches. Easiest when ridden from east to west.

Turniphead Trail (0.80 miles): Singletrack that connects Mayer Gulch Trailhead with 2nd/3rd Gulch Trailhead. Easy rolling terrain.

Mayer Gulch Trail (1.5 miles): Fun singletrack through sagebrush. Became part of the Eagle mountain bike race course when it moved to Eagle Ranch.

Correction to above directions to trailhead...that was probably written before the development was finished. Stay on Fourth of July road for .9 miles-it does not turn to dirt. Turn left on Arroyo. Go down the hill and you'll see a large paved parking lot on the right. Sweet trails for learning or quick evening ride!
