I'm a big fan of Palmer Park, right in the heart of Colorado Springs. Good mix of some technical stuff, pretty good drop-offs, short tough climbs. It doesn't really have long descents or ascents due to the confined nature of it being in town, but just about everything else is there, I really like it.

I like trails with plenty of variety and multiple personalities. I feel lucky to live in a state (Oregon) where there's plenty of this. Meanwhile, here's a photo of Middle Fork Trail (I didn't take it) that captures something else... Oregon's prehistoric rain forest scenery. That's another facet I like about a trail -- the beauty along the way.

My favorite is a coastal trail on my single speed which is fast and tight with epic views and only a few minutes spin from my house or work. Has some fun technical drops and steep exposure. I can hit it day and night.
Can see a bridge peeking out from the fog.

Are you asking for my favorite or the one I ride most?
Local everyday ride is wide open desert single track. Lots of mileage, lots of up and down but nothing sustained.

Recent fave would be the Rainbow Rim. 36 miles on the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Bergen Peak in Evergreen CO. Plenty of climbing and high speed descending. Very SS friendly 
thanks to everyrider who joined this thread
I positively impressed by your comments
Single speeders seem to look around and enjoy nature and wilderness.
post more photos and keep riding.

Really like Bobsled. Not too bad of an ascent, and the dh part has a long section of pretty much like a half pipe. Few jumps over rocks and cars (yes, cars!), but I'm too old to be taking those anymore.
Mmmmm.... Finale Ligure....
I'd love to go back there someday! It's where you can start out here:

And follow the cobbles into town for a an amazing cappuccino on the shores of the Med.:

Please excuse the gears and suspension, it was a borrowed bike.
As far as my favorite trail? Hmmm.... That's tough, so many choices. One of my favorites is where I first rode a singlespeed:

Yep, there's a singletrack ribbon down there. When you ride this trail, that has some great flow and technical on it, you may come cross something like this:
