What to expect on Silver Fox Trail – Silver Fox Bench loop from Evergreen
This loop offers a dynamic ride, blending the easy, scenic singletrack of the Silver Fox Trail with more demanding sections. You'll start by winding through a wide-open meadow that intersects with the historic Alderfer Ranch, a pleasant warm-up. However, the route quickly ramps up, incorporating parts of the Sisters Trail, known for its larger boulders and challenging switchbacks. Expect a significant climb up the Evergreen Mountain West Trail, a long, gradual ascent through dense timber, rewarded with panoramic views of Evergreen and even Mount Evans from the summit. The descent, particularly on the Evergreen Mountain East Trail, is fast-paced and technical, featuring rock gardens and rollers, making this route best suited for experienced mountain bikers.
Planning your visit
The Alderfer Three Sisters Park is a popular destination, easily accessible from Denver, offering an extensive network of trails. While the Silver Fox Trail itself is beginner-friendly, this specific loop combines it with advanced sections, so come prepared for technical riding. Parking is available, and it's always a good idea to arrive early, especially on weekends, as the park can get busy. The park provides a sense of solitude, allowing you to connect with nature.
