Land OwnerBureau of Land Management
This section of the JEM trail is amazing. The whole ride down is full of fast flowing turns. There are a couple of technical sections but nothing to stress about. Definitely worth the short climb... and definitely worth doing more than one lap
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
Trail width 24-48 inches. Camber is mostly on. No exposure. A couple of very doable downhill tech sections with drops. Not recommended for a climb.
Fast and fun. The jewel of adaptive biking here.

Great trail—super fun from top to bottom. Maybe those less enthused ride laps on Zen and Captain Ahab for fun. I loved having a trail that didn’t seem designed in the ‘90s—fast and flowy, though you are peddling—it’s not a (proper) gravity trail. Some small jumps here and there add more interest. Though I think the trail is fine as is, there are definitely spots where you could add more optional drops (and jumps) to add interest for the rider that wants a little more spice.

This trail should be rated blue. There are easy sections but plenty of techy stuff compared to the other trails in the area
brahhh
Kinda overrated, def not the “best trail in Hurricane/St George. Don’t go into it thibking you’ll get a DH oriented flowy DH. You won’t. It’s more of an XC trail with flats/slight downs and some short tech sections. Too pedally to be a true DH. And that’s coming from an XC racer lol
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
