A new Moab classic - some huge high-speed slickrock domes, some desert singletrack, and even some riding through trees.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Black Rating: Advanced obstacles exist, some trail obstructions.

Many off camber sections, rock features, sand and slickrock. The first section of the trail heading down is great, the second has quite a bit of climbing. All rideable with a spotter, no points too narrow. We took 2 bombers on it with riders who have T12 injuries.

Large pinyon down just before the East parking lot. There is a ride around to the left if you are riding CW.

Great conditions. Some short sections with loose sand, but overall packed and tacky.

      Great trail, beautiful. The elevation profile does not adequately reflect the climb out. Nothing crazy, but at the end of a loop, ugh
      November 10th weather was spectacular

      This trail is awesome!! The slick rock sections, in particular, are amazing!!

      This trail is pure joy! So much fun DH on the sandstone, and the little punchy climbs just make it more exiting!

      Be warned, you will have to pay the toll for the net downhill terrain at the end with a big (as in the rock itself is big, the climb isn’t super uber long) slick rock climb out.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
