Riding clockwise the first part of this trail is actually pretty tame. Rolls through the junipers and is a pretty easy ride. Takes you right out to the point. Once you round the point and go for a little bit more, the trail starts to turn into more sand stone rolling and climbing with some difficult sections to negotiate. A lot of fun, a must ride if you drive all the way up to the mesa.

      Incredible views and great winding exploring around the slick rock. I like the challenge of searching for rock cairns and other clues for where the trail goes.

      Trail is in excellent condition. Trailforks or a guide is required to find this trail!
