Length: 8.8 miles
Rating: Moderate
This loop is suitable for hybrid and city bikes because one-quarter of
the route is on a paved road, while the remainder is on hard packed
gravel. Attractions include Wilson Lake, camp and picnic areas, and two
small waterfalls visible from the road.
Be cautioned about cars and dogs in the residential areas of Clear
Creek community. The loop starts down Clear Creek Road, and includes Blue
Valley Road (FS 79) and a return on FS 367. An optional detour may be made
for Wilson Lake on FS 301. All turns are to the right. There will be one
short climb where the grade is ten percent. For the most part the average
grade is 4 to 5 percent.
