About

Pinball Alley is a difficult, lift-served mountain biking trail at Powderhorn Bike Park near Palisade and Cedaredge on the Grand Mesa. The 1.6-kilometer route descends approximately 400 meters with steep drops, technical rock sections, and fast berms. It is the resort's most challenging trail, designed for advanced riders seeking high-speed downhill riding. The trailhead is accessible via the Flat Top Flyer lift, which operates on weekends from late June through early October. During July and August, the lift also runs Thursday and Friday. Riders can expect views of the resort and Plateau Valley while navigating the flowy lower section and rugged upper terrain. Parking is available near the base, and dogs are permitted on the trail.
