Thriving

About

The Thriving trail is a 0.8-mile mountain biking route located in Grand Junction, Colorado, on the Western Slope. Situated at an elevation of 4,858 feet, it descends and wraps around the last hill on the southeast corner of the Water Tower system near Redlands. The trail offers a moderate difficulty level, making it suitable for riders seeking a manageable challenge without extreme technical demands. It is accessible from April through October, with conditions varying based on weather and recent maintenance. Parking is available near the trailhead, and the route allows pets. While part of a larger network known for technical singletrack, Thriving itself is a distinct, short loop that can be completed in approximately 12 minutes. The area has experienced seasonal closures and fire-related evacuation orders, so riders should check current conditions before visiting.
