Notorious B-Side

About

Notorious B-Side is a one-way, downhill mountain biking trail located in Rifle, Colorado, part of the Hogback trail system. The route is approximately 1.4 miles long with a moderate difficulty rating, often classified as a blue singletrack. The trail begins with a short climb through a sand wash and descends through varied terrain featuring machine-built drops, doubles, berms, and rollers. Hand-dug sections include twisty segments and a gully ride, with optional lines built around boulders, logs, and hips. The trail concludes by crossing a large rock slab double and reconnecting to the Hogback Highway. Access is available via Wall Street, which serves as a one-way climbing approach. The trail is directional, meaning riders ascend to the top and descend only. It is typically open from April through October, with a winter closure period from December 1 to April 15. Parking is available near the trailhead. The trail is pet-friendly and visibility is generally easy to follow. Average completion time is around 13 minutes.
