Adventure Origins Beulah Loop

Epic route / Bikepack

25 miles

Bike

This short, adventurous overnight starts in the wonderful hamlet of Beulah, Colorado and makes its way out the last unpaved “highway” in Colorado (it’s quite low traffic) with big views, deep history, and steep climbing. Day one is the bulk of the route's challenge, climbing CO-78/Twelve Mile highway from Beulah to CO-165. It’s possible to take a paved detour after the big climb to site by Lake San Isabel and grab food and drink at the Lodge. The first night is at historic Davenport Campground, the gateway to Squirrel Creek Canyon. Davenport still hosts structures built just after the turn of the century, and offers a spot to filter water. Squirrel Creek is the first USFS recreation area in the country, designed before most any campground you’ve ever been to. Day two sends you down the technical Squirrel Creek trail and through the Pueblo Mountain park's Carhart trail. Carhart trail is mostly moderate terrain, though exposed in spots. Expect very challenging, chunky terrain in many spots along Squirrel Creek. Finish the day in Beulah. It’s a small town that’s easy to fall in love with.

 Make sure to give yourself time for some coffee stops and a few photos!

Getting there: Park in Beulah. Grab some coffee at Stompin’ Grounds. get after it.
