Watch out for mountain bikers frequently climbing this trail—they are uphill only.

Description

In 2000 the Bobcat Gulch fire burned much of what is now the Bobcat Ridge Natural Area. The land is now managed by the City of Fort Collins who have built a number of trails. Powerline Trail climbs to meet up with the top of the Ginny Trail and DR Trail to make some nice loops.

The climb up Powerline Trail is a doubletrack/fire road through the remnants of the trees left by the Bobcat Gulch Fire. It is a steep climb but gets you to a nice meadow, nice views looking into Rocky Mountain National Park, and trail connections.
