New Deep Creek

About

New Deep Creek is a mountain biking trail in Telluride, Colorado, situated near Mountain Village at an elevation of 8,819 feet. The route is classified as moderate in difficulty and spans 1.4 miles, connecting to the existing Deep Creek trail system via a recent reroute project completed in September 2023. This new alignment prioritizes environmental sustainability and provides direct access to the top of Deep Creek. The trail runs through aspen groves and offers views of surrounding peaks, including Iron Mountain, Campbell Peak, and Dallas Peak. It is open for use from April through October, with conditions varying based on seasonal snow and ice. Parking is available near the trailhead, and the route is pet friendly. While some sources describe it as a short ride with an estimated duration of zero hours or approximately 21 minutes, its primary value lies in its connectivity to the broader Telluride trail network and its status as a moderately popular singletrack option.
