Excellent opportunities for observation of alpine tundra, wildflowers and wildlife. The last 1.5 miles is very steep - for riders in good condition. The road is good riding. Road climbs abruptly above the Twin Lakes with some excellent views to the north. Road is closed to motor vehicles at gate about 4 miles in.
Bikes can explore road that follows irrigation ditch to the west.
Moderate to difficult ride. Interlaken Trail 3 miles one way. Start at the southeast side of the Twin Lakes dam and follow the Colorado Trail along the lakeside to the historic resort of Interlaken. Trail in good condition with a few short climbs and one bad creek crossing. Good route for all class of riders.
