Trail Overview
Part 1 of the Turtle Mountain Trail is a 7-mile stretch of narrow single track with several intermediate rock features between Rampart Range Road and Gramps Trail. The trail zig zags through a pine tree forest, with lots of shelfy sections and tight turns between the pine trees where you need to watch your handlebars. There are lots of sections of flat rock slab, and it goes past giant granite boulders. This trail has several splits for easy versus hard sections that split off and meet back up, and they're all marked with which direction to go for most difficult versus intermediate versus easy. One of the more difficult obstacles is a big rock pinch through giant boulders. Another is a narrow section between two giant rock faces like a slot canyon. The trail also goes underneath a giant rock slab at one point like a tunnel. Other features of the trail include troughed-out sections and a pretty cool view once on top of the mountain. After this segment, Turtle Mountain Trail #770 continues south of Gramps Trail towards Log Jumper Trail.
