Victoria Lake Trail Network: Upper Cow Pie

Upper Cow Pie Alley is a fun singletrack trail of about 2 miles with just a couple of short, difficult sections. It serves as part of Loop 15 and forms the out-and-back stem of the Victoria Lollipop Loop, so you'll likely ride it in both directions. The weeds can grow deep here at times, and like the rest of the user-built Victoria network it's rocky, narrow, and lightly marked, so a downloaded map helps. It carries about 500 feet of elevation gain across its length. Part of the Victoria Lake Trail Network south of Rapid City, best ridden in dry conditions from early summer into fall.
