McQuaid Trail No. 631

This trail crosses the rolling Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, and Aspen country of the eastern foothills of the Buffalo Peaks.

It makes for a nice day hike and also provides a biking connection through this country, with the Midland Trail and Buena Vista to the south, and a trail system that reaches to Breckenridge to the north.

Backcountry water is available at both ends and the middle of the trail.

Access from the north is FDR 433, approximately 3 miles from US 285. The southern access is FDR 435, approximately 3 miles from US 285.
