Peggy’s Trail takes you across varied terrain in a cool part of the foothills. It has a few different personalities: some fire road, some new-school bench-cut singletrack, and some older legacy singletrack crafted by cattle and human foot traffic. The “Peggy’s Curvy Body” segment is a particularly fun downhill. Bikers often loop Peggy’s with Chukar Butte and Cartwright Road.
Recent Trail Reports
February 1, 2019 at 1:28 pmCould plainly see from the road yesterday that the initial climb is muddy - but that wasn't stopping two cyclists from riding it as I watched. Give it a rest or ride when frozen.
May 16, 2018 at 4:11 pmPeggy’s and Chukar - all good today.
April 29, 2018 at 2:18 pmGot caught in a rain/hail storm this morning (10 am) on Peggy's and the trail surface turned to slick mud that caked our tires and bikes.
Probably won't take much, but it needs a little drying out.
April 23, 2018 at 9:24 amAll puddles now dried up. Fairly clear of ruts and tracks.
April 17, 2018 at 6:55 pmHiked from Cartwright to Sweet Connie junction, a few muddy spots but you can hop over most of them. Looks like the cows must have been through there yesterday, a couple of torn up spots but nothing awful. My mileage ended up at 4.95 one way, wondering if the trail marker starts at a different place (instead of across the road from the Cartwright parking lot?)- April 10, 2018 at 8:34 amExcellent shape except for the East side near Daniels creek where there is the perma-puddles. But easily ridden through.
- April 4, 2018 at 9:16 amExcellent shape right now, tacky dirt and some small wild flowers popping up.

It appears people have abused poor Peggy’s a bit the last few days when the temps went up. It really needs a rest unless you get out while frozen.
Feb 17- Long mud patches on the north facing sections
Rode Sunday, Feb 11 – solid with most of any wetness down at the creek level.
Rode it yesterday and a few soft spots but nothing to feel guilty about. Stay on the trail and ride through them.
I rode Peggy’ s to Chuckar Butte today with assumption I would have to turn around at some point. It was fantastic! 3 or 4 small mud puddle sections , which you should ride through.

Pretty darn good from Cartwright until you swing around into the Daniels Creek drainage, approximately .5-miles from Sweet Connie junction. Much wetter and lots of puddles there so turned around. Still got some nice mileage in to that point.
Started from Cartwright TH and the first mile or so was ok. But Encountered mud near the river and turned around.
Stay off Peggy’s for now, unless things are good and frozen.
