This is the main access trail to the rest of Blue Diamond/Cottonwood. It's a pretty decent climb and a fun and challenging downhill when you're headed back in. Don't forget to look up and look around.. you can get some great views of the red hills of the canyon. This trail is mainly dirt and rock but it can get technical at times. You can split off this trail at any time to find some more fun dirt or use it to do laps around the mountain

I rode this in December 2025. I think clockwise is the way to go. In this direction the last three kilometres are an awesome flowy and at time technical descent. I would rate this trail as one of the best I found on this trip.

Nice loop. We rode it cw and that felt like a good way to do it. The blue rating is appropriate but most of it is green. It pedals fast.

I enjoyed the whole thing, after riding it I believe I’d mark it green, as I’m sort of a beginner.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
