Part of the Road Apple Trails System.

The Foothills Loop will take you along the ridgeline and then on a fun 2-mile downhill section. This is followed by a moderate climb back to the ridge where you meet fast-paced singletrack to the parking lot.

Ride north along the ridge along the Road Apple Rally on Kinsey, which is a slightly uphill but fast trail. Make a right off the ridge onto the Seven Sisters and enjoy the fast downhill sections with whoops and small jumps. From Seven Sisters, you’ll then climb up the Bong Rock Trail back to the ridge and finish with Rigor Mortis. Rigor Mortis is a fast and slightly downhill, tight singletrack that leads back to the parking lot. –MtnbProject Description.

Road Apple Trail is rolling singletrack, which starts on top of Kinsey Ridge. To the southeast, you can see the Navajo Reservoir and beyond, while to the north, you have an amazing view of the La Plata Peaks. This trail is so good, Ned Overend says it is his favorite trail!
