Chutes to Buckhorn

Trail Description
This track runs up the Chutes to Columbine, to Buckhorn, and back via Capt'n Jacks and the Chutes. Head up the Chutes and go left on Gold Camp Road. You will head up the road until you go through the first tunnel. Look to your left for the trail immediately after the tunnel. There is a trail just before the tunnel as well, both leading down to Columbine Trail. Columbine has been carefully maintained, and is in great shape for a ride up. Continue on Columbine until you come out at Helen Hunt Falls. Climb up the paved road and take a left through the parking lot and though the gate at the back.
