The first in hopefully a long line of official trails in Green River. Now you can stop off early on your way to Moab and get in some great cross country miles, with beautiful views of the river. Mostly pretty buff singletrack with some little rocky sections and minor exposure. But the trail is out in the open, so prepare for sun and some windy days.
