Eldorado mountain, one of the mountains of the
Flatirons, is near southern Boulder and the northernmost part of Golden.
Eldorado mountain is my favorite destination for mountain biking. I go mountain
biking there from Louisville either with my friends or my dad. The trail is
long, and challenging enough for a fun ride, but not all-downhill or anything
too exhilarating. I love to mountain bike first of all, because I love biking
and being in nature while doing so. This trip is my favorite because I can
start right from my own house without driving first, and it's a good length.
It's long enough for good exercise, and short enough where it doesn't take up
your whole day. There are parts of the trail that are more rocky, more uphill,
more tactical, or downhill, so it keeps it interesting. To me, I ride on this
trail over and over for the exercise and to be outside. I'm not looking for a
new experience every time I bike, I concentrate on getting better at the trail
and biking, and being in nature.
Unfortunately,
the recent flood disaster happened in this area, and I wouldn't be surprised if
run off from this mountain and the others around it destroyed the trails. I
have yet to go there (if I can) and find out if it's either in ruins, or still
intact but in poor/just okay condition. If there were lots of puddles and
debris, that wouldn't bother me with biking, but if there are lots of thick mud
spots and loose rocks, that would be pretty dangerous. Hopefully, it's not
ruined and I can bike there again, but if it is not suitable for riding or it's
closed, I might not bike again until late fall. Finding this out will be my
adventure of the weekend, and I hope I'll be able to bike on the mountain again, now or soon enough.
