4th ride of the Whole Enchilada. Singletrack starts at a right fork off of the Kokopelli trail. Watch for the map sign. The double track, which is the Kokopelli, continues to the left and intersects the Sand Flats Road. Challenging singletrack over rock, roots, ledges, and dry washes. UPS generally follows the rim on sandstone and dirt thru the Pinyons & Junipers. It passes thru a primitive campground where you can bailout on another road to Sand Flats. Continuing on the singletrack leads you to the start of LPS.

This where The Whole Enchilada starts to get fun! Amazing views, cool red rock slabs, some techy bits, and a lot of speed. Read more about The Whole Enchilada and UPS here! https://twowheeledwanderer.com/posts/the-whole-enchilada-what-you-need-to-know

In my mind this trail is the main reason to ride all the way through to Porc Rim. So good! Slab sections are fun and gnar.

One of my favorite trails - some short techy sections and fast slab descents with a great flow throughout
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
