Trail Run at Gateway Mesa

Looking for a trail run that has it all? Gateway Mesa delivers with flowing single-track, challenging switchbacks, rocky terrain, stairs, and slickrock—all packed into one beautiful Castle Rock trail system.

We’ll start with the easy Chuck’s Loop, giving everyone a chance to warm up before deciding whether to continue on the full Chuck’s Loop and Legacy Trail for a more adventurous run. This flexible route allows you to choose the distance and challenge that feels right for you—whether you’re looking for a relaxed run or a more challenging workout, there’s something for everyone.

And of course, no trip to Gateway Mesa is complete without stopping at the famous truck tucked beneath the cliffs—don’t forget to bring a permanent marker if you’d like to add your name to this local tradition!
