Pony Park is a short mountain biking route in the Sulphur Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. The ride is about a tenth of a mile long, with a high point of 10,627 feet and a low of 10,545 feet, a climb of about 64 feet one way. The steepest stretch comes early in the ride, with a 9% grade. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 73°F with lows near 40°F, while temperatures at the park run cooler because the station sits well below the route. Several trails start close by. Blue Ridge and the Pony Park Trail are both within a quarter mile, and the North Supply Loop is half a mile away. Bull Mountain Campground, about 5 miles off, offers a place to stay.
