About

The Dyke Trail is a challenging mountain biking route located near Gunnison and Crested Butte on the Western Slope. The trail is known for its technical difficulty and significant elevation changes, typically descending from the area above Lake Irwin down to the Kebler Pass Road. The ride is particularly noted for its scenery, featuring golden aspen groves that are popular in the fall, along with sweeping mountain views. The trail surface is primarily dirt and can be rocky. Parking is available at the trailhead, and the trail is pet-friendly, allowing leashed dogs. The trail is generally accessible from April through October, though conditions can vary with weather. It is important to verify current status, as fire evacuations or other closures may occur. The trail allows for both mountain biking and hiking, and is part of the Gunnison National Forest system.
