When old logging roads find a second life as cross-country ski trails, what unfolds is an enthralling cycling experience waiting to be explored. A ride through the Little Laramie Trail System offers not just wide lanes of singletrack but an intriguing blend of technical challenges amid the solitude of high mountain forests. A nine-mile web of routes forms this hidden gem, just a few miles past Centennial in Wyoming's Snowy Mountains.
Embark on your journey by taking US HWY 130 west of Laramie, heading through Centennial into the Snowy Mountains. Just past Centennial, make a right turn into the Little Laramie Trailhead after crossing over the North Fork Little Laramie River. A ranger station and visitor center en route offer maps to guide your expedition.
Rocks, ruts, logs, and gullies await, making each route a unique challenge. Despite its categorization as 'Very Easy,' this network doesn't lack in technical areas that provide engaging riding.
An added allure is the tranquil setting. The trail system doesn't draw large crowds in summer, offering cyclists the gift of solitude amid beautiful mountain forests.
The wide lanes might even let you think of them as doubletrack, lacking a distinct path. Depending on your preference, you can opt for a rocky climb or a smoother incline. Descending, regardless of your chosen route, is sure to be exhilarating.
Offering a delightful range of technical challenges and the tranquility of being one with nature, the Little Laramie Trail System serves as an under-the-radar jewel in Wyoming's Centennial area. Whether you're in for a rough climb or a breezy downhill ride, this network assures you of a memorable outing.
