About

Tommy Knocker is a one-way downhill mountain biking trail in Telluride, Colorado. It connects the top of the Village Express lift to Mountain Village. The trail is 5 miles long with an elevation drop from approximately 8,793 feet. It is classified as moderate but serves as an easy entry point for the Telluride Bike Park. The terrain is described as flowy with few drops and some rocky, gravelly berms. Riders encounter a mix of smooth sections and challenging hairpin turns. Access requires a bike park ticket or pass. The trail is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, seven days a week. Outside these hours, or when the bike park is closed (typically late October through early June), the trail is inaccessible. There is no gondola access to this specific trailhead. Parking is available near the start. The typical riding season runs from April through October, depending on snow conditions. The ride takes about one hour to complete. Pets are allowed. The trail is suitable for families and beginners, though advanced riders use it as a warm-up lap.
