If you want to try the ski lift option, check out Telluride. The gondola from town is FREE, even for your bike. For a trail map, click here. When we were there a couple of weeks ago, the upper trails weren't open due to elk calving. But we did enjoy the River trail, esp. once you get out of the main part of town. Simple, easy flowing singletrack heading west. For more trails, check out this snippet of the Lat40 map for Telluride. We also rode the Galloping Goose trail west of town. One of those gentle rails-to-trails that goes from near Telluride, past Trout Lake to the top of Lizard Head Pass. Part singletrack, part gravel road. We also did the grunt up the Black Bear pass road to the top of Bridal Veil falls and about a mile up the trail above that. Very, very scenic.
