Mountain Biking 18 Road Trails / North Fruita Desert

****   Add a review
#2 of 1,366 mountain bike trails in Colorado
#4 in the world

There are several trails in this network ranging from cruiser to some lung busting sprints. Most trails run up and down the cattle pastures while a couple run along the base of the Book Cliffs. Over all, these are the classics that made Fruita a destination.
