Land OwnerBureau of Land Management
Rustler’s Loop is a fantastic ride for all skill levels. Intended to be rideable for beginners there are several technique-education signs along the route. But don’t be dissuaded if you feel your skills might be wasted on an “easy” ride. The trail provides several more-advanced riding options, including at least one obstacle endeared “Sternum Hill”. The single track on the north end is particularly fast and flowy, hard-packed and bermed sand. Suggested riding clockwise direction via trail organization.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
A handful of off-angle rock sections require a spot or careful line picking.

Such an awesome beginner trail - allows you to practice your skills and the signs teach riders about etiquette and technique on the way. This offers a little bit of everything desert riding has to offer - punchy technical climbs, amazing views, some slick rock, and awesome flow to finish. Probably one of my favorite trails ever!

I’ll echo the comment about ppl hauling ass in their cars up and down the road between the lots. Not only a safety issue but also nobody wants to choke on road dust for no reason other than someone else’s lack of consideration

Trails are amazing. I was angered by how fast people drive between the Kokopelli Trailhead and the entrance to Rustler's. People are flying up that gravel road into a blind corner...could hit bikers and hikers. I
It seems to me the road should be closed at the Koko TH. Really nice lot with great facilities. It's literally less than a mile to the trails. Bikes are for riding.
