      This is an extremely demanding loop with chunky sandstone and rocky ledges. Very steep extended climbs...

      Some fun and flowy parts leading you back to the parking lot but some short climbing and thick sections of sand towards the end before it spits you back the road right before the parking lot.
      brahhh brahhh
      Flat trail that connects the road to the Stairway Loop descents. As of October 2020, the end of the trail is very sandy and you will most likely walk. Other than this, this trail is an easy trail, and the average experienced rider will encounter no trouble whatsoever. There is one steep and loose section, where a dropper is recommended. Cool way to end off a super fun descent!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
