This is extreme because it is difficult to ride. It is a rock crawlers paradise, with natural features that will test the clearance of your bottom bracket as well as your bike handling skills. Tons of fun

Trail is great in either direction! I like how it flows in reverse though… a lot of the fun steeper downhill sections go that way. If climbing steeper sections is your jam… then down from South Rim is the better way.

Second time riding this and still absolutely love it. A lot of this is blue, but the tech sections are a good challenge and doable if you are on form and like that kind of thing. I actually found the North Rim heading “down” to be more of a challenge.

If you do the Mesa as a figure-8 you can hit this 2x in your route......... ;-)
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
