SATURDAY TRAILS WITH MUDDY SHOES
Howdy, Howdy!
Alright, Trail Folk, time to get up and go slap your feet on some single-track here in MoCo! We’ve been movin’ around the county and tapping into a lot of different trailheads this Summer. So, we are going to tap again and head to our Southern fringes and hit the Gold Mine Loop. And, yes, they really did mine gold there. Way back in the day. Keep your eyes open! Ya’ll might get lucky!
The course is actually laid out like a figure 8. Altogether the ‘loop’ is just under 5 miles. There are some hills, but the scenery is fantastic with a couple of overlooks that are camera worthy.
We’ll throw some snacks and bevs out at the trailhead for your post-run replenishment.
Details follow below.
