This is a very fun singletrack that runs along the edge of red rock cliffs, from the Grapevine trail, to a dirt access road near a water tower. The trail is primarily intermediate, however it has 4-5 short sections of chunk and rolls that are advanced black diamond features. Heading west, the trail ends at a sandy hill, and at the base of this hill are the Dino footprints. After the last major chunk section, there is a left turn that people use to skip the sand hill section, however this is technically an illegal trail. If you do use this, it hops a fence and takes dirt roads back to the Grapevine TH.

        Much more fun and challenging than church rocks. A few calling spots. The high consequence exposure at the west end makes it a black.
        Chaser-man
        Factually speaking so not ride this west to east

        Great trail, especially when linked to Church Rocks. Great views and fun trail. Honestly though, a Black Diamond rating? In this area of Utah I would call this a BLUE Diamond. Yes, there are a few spots of "Black Diamond" but these can be easily walked if you can't ride those spots.

        We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
