A classic ride for the entire family. The loop is a mix of dirt road and non motorized trail. The sections of this loop that are on dirt road see very little motorized use and the route is considered very safe for families.
The loop is recommended counter clockwise. Start the ride from the south end of the Bar M parking area riding south on the Gas Line Connector toward Rusty Spur. From here follow the black signs that say "Bar M Loop".
