Medicine Wheel Trail Guide
Cheyenne Mountain State Park
CMSP has about 20 miles of trails ranging from very easy, wide beginner trails all the way up to highly technical and narrow singletrack. These trails were designed by IMBA Trail Solutions with mountain bikes in mind. Part of the Colorado State Parks system, there is a fee for cars to enter, bikes and pedestrians get in free. An annual pass can also be bought which is good at all the state parks (including Pueblo).
The route shown on this page includes all the highlights: Talon Loop, Blackmer Trail, Medicine Wheel, Cougar Shadow, and the Zook Trail.
Please Note These trails can get very muddy when wet, so please don't ride them in that condition. Call the for up-to-date information.
More information on the park is available at the .

READ THIS DISCLAIMER, IT'S IMPORTANT!
- Mountain biking and recreation in the outdoors in general can be a hazardous activity.
- The maps, photos, files and other information provided on this web site are provided as is, with no guarantee of their accuracy.
- The posted information is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as a recommendation that you actually go out and travel these areas without additional preparation and knowledge.
- Some of these trails may cross private property or be otherwise closed to public access. We recommend you check out the area you intend to visit with the appropriate authorities.
- Some of these trails may be obviously long and technically difficult, but even those rated as "easy" could contain hazards.
- Some of these areas may be a long way from roads or assistance. Self rescue may be required in the event of trouble.
- Electronic devices can fail; bring paper maps and know how to use them. A cell phone may not work where you are going. In addition, you may get lost, become injured, be attacked by wild animals, or suffer the effects of weather, all of which could result in injury or death.
- Be honest with yourself in assessing your own skill level. If you just bought a bike at Wal Mart and quit smoking last week, do not attempt, say, a six hour backcountry ride, or it could literally become a "death march".
- Be prepared. We recommend you carry all appropriate safety gear, like helmets & gloves, as well as food, water, tools, a means for creating fire, and additional clothing. And common sense. Bring some of that along.
Have fun!
