Land OwnerBureau of Land Management: Red Rock & Sloan Canyon Field Office
This trail is a ton of fun coming down off the saddle. It is fast with some jumps. One of the jumps you can send too far over a rock drop, so check before you jump to correctly gauge your speed. This is a difficult climb, but the embedded rock faces are very grippy on the tires. Not is difficult as the Big Horn Spur above, but requires some skill and endurance to climb.
The bottom wraps around the mountain and provides some fun off-camber sharp rocks. If you lean your bike sideways while pedaling, you can avoid the pedal strikes. The trail gets really easy as it approaches the wash. From there you can roll it into a parking area, or test your metal using the Toque Technical section around the front

This trail has everything. Jumps, drops, flow, chunk and tech.
repkjund
Super fun blue trail, mostly flowy and sometimes chunky
ryantiberti
Overall fun trail. Don’t do what I did and hit the jumps at full out trail speed and land 20ft past the landing into the flat. Jumps seem to be designed to hit at a casual pace.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
