Land Owner
Grand Junction Field Office Travel Management Plan Map 11 clearly designates this as “Open to Hiking Only”. Steep up and down, this trail offers exceptional views of the eastern end of the Grand Valley. Lots of sun exposure makes it fun outside of the heat of summer.

This trail is designated “Open to Hiking Only” in the GJFO’s Travel Management Plan Map 11.

This trail is legally open to bikes, but nobody on the bike rides it. Too steep.

I've hike this many times, I don't think it is bikeable unless you close it to foot traffic and are confident enough to do rampage.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
