Raider Ridge Overlook is a long, beautiful ride or hike. Start from Horse Gulch Road and head past the Meadow to your 2nd left, called Rocky Road. Head up Rocky Road and stay right. You'll continue climbing until you reach an overlook of the Hillcrest golf course, and the LaPlata Mountains. Head down by staying to the trail on your left and you'll end up back on Horse Gulch Road. These trails will be signed in late 2009.


LOCATION: Follow 8th Avenue, off of College Drive, to 3rd Street and go one block east to its end. The trailhead begins here.
