This trail was fun in spots and the scenery is very good but it definitely not all down and not all flow. There are some flowy sections that navigate you through some big boulders, and some sections where the slick rock has some hard edges and can be a rough ride on a hard tail. Fun cross country type trail to train and enjoy the unique landscape.

      Rode this in reverse on e-bike and made it a loop with Mega. Great morning ride, before the heat set in. Whole trail is totally rideable, with good variety of slick, flow, boulders, ups and downs. Even adding Mega there are no “black” sections unless you count the 7% grade up.

      One of my favorite trails in Moab, if not my most favorite. Great trail design with good routing, armoring, and use of natural features. Spectacular views along the ridge. The profile shown doesn’t do justice to the amount of climbing going “down”. Not a complaint, but be aware so that you aren’t surprised. Wonderful trail.

      One of the better trails in the system, worth riding as a climb or a descent for sure. Good flow and good mixture of slick rock dirt. Don't let the whiny comments ruin a good trail for you.
