After a steep climb with some exposure, this trail makes a relatively flat and very scenic loop around the rim of the mesa. The views are spectacular. Most riders will have to push a very short section between the switchbacks.

      There is a trail up, but I didn’t see a loop trail once I got up there.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
