About

The Tappan-Allerton Draw - Mother Lode Trail Connector is a 1.4-mile moderate mountain biking route located near Montrose, Colorado, at an elevation of 6,414 feet. It functions as a connector trail, linking the Tappan-Allerton Draw and Mother Lode trail systems. The trail is accessible from April through October and offers parking at the trailhead. Pets are permitted. While the connector itself is classified as moderate, adjacent trails in the area, such as the nearby Tappan Creek section known as 'Shane's Trail,' feature sandy creekbeds, rock drops, and steep hike-a-bike sections. Private land surrounds some of these connected trails, so riders should follow designated paths carefully.
