Maps and Elevation Profiles
The Grand Mesa Ultras are good old fashioned Colorado mountain trail races run at high elevation! The terrain varies from technical rocky climbs, fast flowing forest track, remote off-trail sections, and as much awesome single track as possible! Wildflowers, wildlife, alpine meadows, numerous lakes and streams, pine and aspen forests with views galore!
