Dirt biking Monarch Crest Trail in Colorado

[@iforce2d]

What an awesome ride!!!! When I lived in Tokyo I used to daydream about doing this. Unfortunately I sold my bikes and got old before moving back.... if I tried it now my thighs would be melted into mush in about ten minutes and it would take two weeks to recover lol

[@hannonenduro]

I hear ya! I also struggle with mushy legs! Be safe out there!

[@HighCountryRambler]

I've driven past this trailhead a million times and never noticed it. Is it listed on CO-Trex or ___? Appreciate watching you tame it down and yielding to sprocket-heads and hikers, we need more of that here in Colorado. As not "all sprocket-heads in CO are cool". At least the group throwing rocks at my son and I after arguing in front of a carsonite sign posting motorcycles and bicycles are allowed at a trailhead. I still go out of my way to share the trails here peacefully. It will take all of us fighting together to keep these trails open to the public.

[@hannonenduro]

It is on CO-Trex I believe. There are several trails that intersect the Crest trail. I do try not to ruin someone’s day by ripping by them. Motorcycles kinda ruin the quiet for hikers and MBers.

[@CoolEyeColorado]

Was just on this trail the other day. One of my favorites!

[@hannonenduro]

The whole area is awesome! I’ll be heading back to Sargents before winter to hit a few more trails up there. Horseshoe Creek is on my list.

[@markking3531]

That is one busy trail.

[@hannonenduro]

It sure was. Every one was really nice though!

[@stacksmasher]

Looks pretty easy!

[@hannonenduro]

That’s more of a MTB trail

[@12818omaha]

Rode my MTB on this trail last July...felt like the only person who wasn't on an e-bike...never been passed by more girls in my life. Haha.

[@hannonenduro]

Yea I realized even though it’s a multi use trail it is a MTB trail. Beautiful up there!

[@zeroh_chill2966]

Dang this looks fun! This is why i bought my KTM!

[@hannonenduro]

Yea great way to go see the mountains right?

[@Enduro.Trials]

Nice video! Did you stay at the cabins in Sargents? Your bike tagged? Trying to decide if I want to go ride there next month or go back to Taylor Park or a couple days at both. Advise? Thanks!

[@hannonenduro]

There is a lot of mountain bikes and hikers on this trail. I probably won’t do it again. Taylor is awesome though!

[@hookedonenduro]

Thank you for being a great ambassador of our sport out there on the trails!

[@hannonenduro]

Hey, thanks! Ride safe out there!

[@littleredreiner6446]

Just discovered your channel, awesome rides... what time of year did you ride this?

[@hannonenduro]

Welcome to the channel! Usually head to CO around August when the passes are clear of snow.

[@michaelloch3783]

What time of year, Spring? How soon can you typically clear this trail after a “typical” winter?

[@hannonenduro]

I think at least after July.

[@RayTeerlink]

Noob question. Do you think an adventure bike could do this trail? Thinking Africa twin or ktm adventure

[@hannonenduro]

Probably, at least the part I rode. It was a fairly tame single track.

[@mitchtaylor2005]

I need the Google maps location for this!

[@hannonenduro]

It’s at the very top of Monarch Pass on Highway 50

[@charlieblanc1086]

What camera do you have?

[@hannonenduro]

I have a GoPro10 Black. Had a GoPro7 previously. The 10 is awesome and worth the money in my opinion.

[@charlieblanc1086]

@@hannonenduro great thanks!

[@ronnynelsonmasterarborist]

Western pine beetles attack drought stressed trees because they cannot produce enough resin in their vascular tissue to suffocate the beetle larvae. Sorry, I’m a dirt bike enthusiast and a Master Arborist.

[@hannonenduro]

Ah thanks for the info! Dang beetles. They sure are tearing things up over the last few years.

[@BlueSkyBuildingandDesign]

your way too ice!!

[@hannonenduro]

That was a crowded trail for sure
