Buffalo Creek Ride
Justin AlberJoin me for a full send on the Colorado Mountain Bike: Buffalo Creek Big Ride, one of the most iconic and flow-filled mountain biking trails in Colorado. 32 miles, 4,300+ vertical feet, 4+ hours in the saddle and located just an hour outside Denver, this massive loop dishes out miles of smooth singletrack, granite rock features, pine forest descents, and wide-open vistas that make Buffalo Creek mountain biking a top destination for riders of all levels. Perfect for fans of enduro, cross-country, and long trail rides, this edit captures the best of the Front Range MTB scene with raw POV footage.

Ride Summary
We spent Friday of Memorial Day Weekend on a great mountain bike ride in Buffalo Creek. We covered a little over 33 miles and 4,300 in elevation gain and it was amazing. I absolutely just love this spot in the Pine National Forest. 4+ hours of grinding and flowy downs surrounded by pure Colorado beauty.
