This Friday, July 5, all of our hiking and biking trails will be open. That includes Half Moon, Up at Arapahoe, Wheels Up and the Beavers Loop as well as the Argentine North Fork Trail. As a reminder, Argentine North Fork and Up at Arapahoe are open to two-way hiking and uphill biking. Half Moon is open just to hiking. Wheels Up and Beavers Loop are for downhill biking only.
Arapahoe Basin and Summit County's premier mountain biking loop involves heading up Argentine North Fork and Up at Arapahoe to the Summit (the last 3/4 mile is on the summer road still while we finish building that section) and then descending Beavers Loop and Wheels Up. This new loop is already a classic. Purpose built mountain biking trails in the high alpine terrain are rare. The views are over the top. Not to mention the trails are pure fun.
This Friday, when the city is hot and the mountain towns are busy, come on up, ride the Beavers Loop and then enjoy a Hazel Miller concert in the base area. It is a perfect way to spend a holiday weekend.
