About

Surburban Decay is a 1.3-mile moderate singletrack mountain biking trail in Rifle, Colorado, starting near the end of Roan Cliff Chaos. Riders access the trail by taking a left onto a 4WD road, riding east for 50 yards, and locating the singletrack entrance on the left after approximately 30 yards. The route climbs gently around a cone-shaped dirt hill before descending through a grove of juniper trees into a dense sagebrush field. The descent features quick turns and dips, requiring riders to watch for ankle-scratching sage. The trail connects back to the Doubletrack - Chaos Course to Gun Loop road. Parking is available at the trailhead, and pets are allowed. The trail is open from April through October and sits at an elevation of 5,852 feet.
