Ride the 4 Peaks at Browns

Ride the Four Peaks from Brown’s Ranch Trailhead
Experience all 4 peaks in the Brown’s Ranch area of the Preserve on this 3-hour 16-mile ride led by Conservancy stewards. We will ride to Cone Mountain where we will have an exhilarating ride down Cloudburst, then we will head east to The Divide. From The Divide, we will have flowy downhill runs on Branding Iron and the west side of Granite Mountain. We will see the beautiful rock formations and wildflower fields on the south side of Granite Mountain then head toward Fraesfield Mountain and back toward the Trailhead. This ride will be at a relaxed pace and require moderate cardio and some intermediate technical skills.
