Amazing views and plenty of petrified dunes. Heading clockwise there are several flowy sections on top of packed dirt, sometimes loose rubble or sand. The trail goes right out to the edge of the mesa and provides amazing viewpoints, and can even be a bit scary for some to ride so close to the edge.

Trail just dried out. Markings on the trail are the best I've seen. Thanks to those who have worked on it. I donated some well-deserved Trail Karma

      Fun. It's a more challenging version of Wire Mesa.

      Regarding the drive out, we made it to the trailhead with a minivan rental. There was only one spot just before the trailhead going up a short but steepish grade that I got out to inspect the options and realized that there was enough room to maneuver through. You may not be comfortable doing the same, but even so, you can park just before that spot and it won’t add much extra distance. The rest of the road was fine for normal cars.

      A very fun loop with just enough tech to keep you working but not so saturated that it doesn’t have a good, brisk rhythm to it. Great views!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
