Short Circuit

About

Short Circuit is a 0.9-mile mountain biking trail in Montrose, Colorado, located at an elevation of 6,504 feet. The trail features a mostly smooth and sandy surface on a gentle slope. It was completed in November 2022 by volunteers and serves as an extension of the C Connector trail, providing an additional option to Flux Capacitor. The route runs parallel to an irrigation ditch and is part of the Electric Hills trail system, which includes the inner loop connecting with Electric Avenue and Ohmward-Bound. The trail is rated moderate in difficulty, though it offers a relatively quick ride with a typical duration of about 0 hours for many riders. Parking is available near the trailhead, and pets are permitted on the path. The official season for riding is April through October, with a seasonal closure from December 1 to April 15. The area is known for its purpose-built trails and grid layout through irrigated farmland.
