These extraordinary sandstone outcrops (Mesaverde formation) define the perimeter of Oregon Basin. There are an unlimited number of ways to ride these outcrops ranging from strong intermediate to cliff hucking that is yet to be fully explored, all within a few feet of each other. You can blaze through this trail in an hour, or spend all day on its many permutations. The quality of the slickrock here is as good as you'll find anywhere, and it even has trees.Ride the lollipop counterclockwise.
Access Info
Getting there: Head East out of Cody on highway 14-16-20. From Taco John's, basically the last business on your right as you leave town, travel 5.8 miles to Bluebird Lane on your right. Proceed to the cattle guard and park there.
Ride up the two track into the canyon you see in front of you. At the mouth of the canyon the two track turns into singletrack. Climb the singletrack until you reconnect with the two track under the power lines.

My vehicle marked Bluebird road being right at 5 miles from Taco Johns. This is not much of a road as it is a bumpy pasture path. Park at the cattle guard. ride the two track toward the little canyon straight ahead. The two track goes up the right side of the canyon, you can follow this or go to your left at the beginning of the canyon and ride the trail up. I recommend taking the two track up and the single track back down. once you reach the top of the hill there is a gate. go through the gate (make sure you close it). now you can ride the two track down or take one of the various single tracks off (these are all very precarious). At the bottom of the hill stay on the two track that parallels the bottom of the hill. If you find yourself out in the flat bottom just turn around and look for the trail. On my next trip I will build some cairns to mark the trails. I took this route to the end of the slick rock and then road the two track back around to the steep climb back up to the gate. At the gate you will see where the single track comes up out of the canyon, jump on this and rip back down to the cattle guard.
