Prospect #413
The Prospect Trail #413, a local favorite, begins at an intersection with the Village Trail #416 and ends in Mountain Village. This single track trail in the Telluride Ski Area offers a challenging adventure for hikers and mountain bikers alike. It traverses across ski trails as it ascends through dense spruce-fir forest to the top of Lift 10 where the main trail intersects with the Prospect Loop. For a longer ride, take the Loop trail through Prospect Basin or continue on the main trail past the Teepee before descending back down to Mountain Village. The trail has two stream crossings and crosses several ski runs with spectacular view of the surrounding area. This is a bike ride for those with intermediate or better riding skills.
