About
Slant n' Dicular is a 1.9-mile mountain biking climb in Paonia, Colorado, serving as the primary access route to Jumbo Ridge and upper trail networks. The trail begins at the Powerline Road junction near the 'Tower of Power' high-tension tower, accessible via Gully Trail or Sweet Shady North. Riders climb more than 700 feet over 1.6 miles to reach the Grassy Knoll, a ridge-top viewpoint. The route is classified as moderate difficulty with blue square terrain. While the ascent is steady, the trail is noted for being one of the best descents in the local network. Weekend riders should expect increased traffic from other mountain bikers, hikers, and horses ascending the hill. The trail is open from April through October, and pets are permitted. Parking is available at the trailhead.
