Palisade Trail Conditions


Mid-September Into October 2024

PLEASE RESPECT ALL TRAILS AND DO NOT RIDE UNTIL THEY DRY AFTER A RAIN!

Palisade Rim Trail - The upper loops are in fair shape, if you take the Palisade Plunge cut off the lower trail through the canyon has some flash flood damage in the creek beds.

Palisade Plunge Trail - The Palisade Plunge is open from Mesa Top to Palisade. With the fall storms starting the Mesa Top Parking lot section to Shirttail Point will have some muddy sections, cattle traffic, hunters and possible snow on the trail. We are recommending starting at the Shirt Tail trailhead. The section of trail between Otto's Wall and Lands End Road crossing has some overgrown sections with a down aspen tree two miles up trail from the Lands end crossing. The trail is a little overgrown from the Lands End road crossing for a couple of miles but then is in good shape. The Emergency bailout is well marked if you're running low on water, have a mechanical issue or are getting tired. The Last 10 miles of the trail is very narrow and exposed with possible high heat in the afternoon. Some spots are more off-camber than normal. Please use caution and carry enough water. The Palisade Plunge is not an easy trail, you will pedal the whole ride - it is a great single track adventure for advanced riders.

Deep Creek trail to the Plunge to Powderhorn - Deep Creek trail to the Plunge to Powderhorn, fall conditions - The trail will have some muddy sections, cattle traffic, hunters and possible snow on the trail.

County Line and Skyway trails -  All trails are in great shape. But with the fall storms watch for muddy sections, cattle traffic, hunters and possible snow on the trail.

West Bench Trail - Nice to Chair 1 at Powderhorn. From the top of Lift 1 to the West End the trail is slightly overgrown. But with the fall storms watch for muddy sections, hunters and possible snow on the trail.
