Steve's Loop offers some excellent challenges for even the most challenging riders, but worth the walking for those sections that are otherwise inaccessible. The single-track follows the canyon edge offering superb views of terrain unique to the area. After tracking away from the canyon rim, the trail offers several tricky-steep climbs, but also fast flat and hard-packed sand. Loop it with Mary's or continue out to Lion's single track- but don't miss Steve's.

The new extension added in 2019 is an awesome addition. The top part navigates between huge boulders and the lower part provides a nice winding climb with more cliff views

      I find the "Local Popularity" rating to be oddly low for what it offers. Oh well, less traffic! Straightforward ride, mostly, but with a few technical sections thrown in. Spectacular scenery!

      Very cool trail. Great views on the lower section and fun, twisting traverse coming back up higher (when ridden cw).

      Trail not particularly difficult except for a few sections you can easily walk. Scenery is spectacular and worth doing for this alone.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
