Boulder Mountain Bike Vacation
Trails
White Ranch, Golden, CO

Arguably, the best mountain bike descent on the Colorado Front Range. It’s a grunt of a climb but the descent down Long Horn will make you forget about it. End the ride with a delicious brew at Cannonball Brewing or Mountain Toad Brewing, 5 minutes from the trailhead.

Food
Oskar Blues Brewery

Oskar Blues is a mainstay in the Colorado Mountain Biking community. Locations happen to be dangerously close to some of the best trails on the Front Range. While in Colorado, you can visit locations in Lyons (near Hall and Heil Ranch trailheads) or the Longmont location. Oskar Blues packages its beer in cans so it can be taken on the trail but remember, pack it in, pack it out.

Featuring 25 Taps, 25 Bottled Beers, over 75 Bourbons & the most knowledgeable staff of bar-keepers in the state, The West End Tavern is the authority on boozy goodness. The food comes with a southern flair (like the deviled egg and hot sauce appetizer) and is top notch in quality. Give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.
