hey folks! New to the forum here. My name's Dave and I moved to the condos at Great Gorge Village a year and a half ago. I personally refurbished most of the old race course loop. I haven't done the part around the smallest lake in the lower left of the map posted above by phillychris yet...it may all be good, but all of the singletrack up and around Granite Peak is all cleaned out and re-blazed where necessary. It was a mess. The twisty singletrack uphill between the ski runs (by GrandPrix) is all shiny and new (follow the silver cats). The techy singletrack around the upper lake (top right in the map) is all cleared out and good. The section off the backside of Granite that goes to the pipeline...good. Also the couple of places that crossed the pipeline (which were virtually impassable...had to machete through there) is all ride-able again. The bike/quad riders have cleared the old yellow and red trail portions that parallel the dirt road....all good. The doubletrack around the bottom-right lake is all good....etc. I ride up from home to do it (new trail there as well), but always see cars parked all the way in by the yellow gate (the one closer to granite peak....make a right after the first lake if you drive in from 515).
Anyway....hope to see people up there using it....it IS a great loop....and now it's my back yard...enjoy!
