  • If you park at the Dickerson Homestead (flagstone sign on south side of Rd 44H) you will see a small sign at a fire road for Monument Gulch.  Take this road north-west to a connection with Old Flowers Rd, (fire road) which can be taken east to the Stove Prairie rd (paved) south to 44H (Buckhorn Rd, dirt) for what I have been told is a 30 mile loop.  An alternate is to take Monument Gulch to the Pingree Park rd, south to the Buckhorn rd at Pennock Peak pass/Pennock Creek, and back to Monument Gulch on 44H.  This is approx 12 miles, with steep sections.  Biting flies at times during the summer. Pingree and 44H (Buckhorn rd) are dirt roads.  Remember to avoid during weekends-I almost got run off the road in the CAR, coming home by a truck and trailer full of ATV's!  The best part can be had as an out and back up and down Monument Gulch road.  A side note:  Apple of the Mummy's Eye is a book about the Dickerson sisters whose family homesteaded this area. Fascinating and inspiring.

Great beginner trail. Plenty of steep (not too long) climbs, wide cinder trail, rocky sections difficult enough to be fun, safe enough for any beginner to ride on. Just remember the rules of the trails when you see horse riders. You can ride here as long

  • http://lakemetroparks.com/park... this is a link to a map of the trail. It is best to enter off of hobart road on the twin ponds side of the park. You can access the lucky stone loop here the easiest. You can ride a good 6-8 miles in any given loop.
