One of the lesser known hidden gems of Horsetooth Mountain Park, Audra Culver trail connects Southridge to Horsetooth Rock Trail. Though the signage for the section where this trail overlaps the Horsetooth Rock hiking-only trail is vague, be assured that bikes are allowed on all of this trail. Ridden uphill, this trail offers numerous steep pitches that are technically challenging with one particularly difficult obstacle near the end of the climb before the "squeeze" between two large rock features that marks the end of the climb, before a short descent back down to Southridge just above the top of Wathen. Ridden downhill, you'll first have to climb back up to the squeeze from the east-facing side which has an off-camber slab with some roots thrown in the mix, followed by a very steep slab that requires some momentum and 100% commitment to clean. From the high point back down to Southridge, the difficult obstacle to climb from the opposite direction is an easy roll, followed by moderately technical terrain back to the bottom. The trail is mostly decomposed granite (kitty litter) which can make traction challenging, but nothing you're not already used to if you've spent any time riding in the area.
