About

The Kave Trail is a one-way, mountain-bike-only singletrack located in Telluride, Colorado.

The trail spans roughly one to 1.3 miles and typically takes about 15 minutes to complete. Riders encounter steep sections, tight switchbacks, and rocky terrain that require advanced skills. The trail is accessible from April through October, though snowmelt and weather conditions can affect usability. Parking is available near the trailhead, and dogs are permitted on the route.
