Description

Flowing mountain bike trail that connects Palmer Trail with Ridgeline Trail . From Ridgeline Trail, you can proceed across the rest of the hogsback and descend west into Red Rocks Park or East into one of the parking areas along 26th or 31st streets. Mountain bikes are more common than hikers on this trail so be aware.

Getting there: From the Palmer/Section 16 Parking, proceed uphill 800m and take the 3rd turn on the right. After another 600m, you'll encounter a left turn that proceeds downhill, this leads to Red Rock Canyon Overlook Trail. To continue on New Meadows Trail, stay strait until you dead end into Ridgeline Trail.
