Description: This trail is easy, it is an excellent one to introduce a newcomer to our sport and the riding found around Moab (I took my 11yr old son and he had a blast, he wants to keep going back to Moab which is fine by me). There are some slickrock sections to play on, even some small drops to keep from getting bored and the scenery is excellent with views into Archs National Park off to the east.

Maybe good for a mellow ride after a hard day. You can get better views of the arches from other ledge trails (eg Gold Bar Rim). You time is better spent elsewhere.

I joined in this trail at the N end of the loop from the Sovereign Singletrack via the Pipeline jeep trail. This is near the edge of the Seven Mile Canyon, a very scenic spot to stop and say ëwowí. The trail follows south along the canyon for a while then winds around some small foothills. This is a great afternoon ride with grand views of the Arches and the La Salle mountains to the east, very little sand and some slick rock areas thrown in. The trail gets back to 191 about 3 miles from town - all down hill. WARNING; if you get to a fence and small gate marked ìArches NP Boundaryî it is best to backtrack on the trail you just rode in on for a 1/4 mile or so until you find a main trail W to 191. It is not advisable to take a right and follow the jeep road down the hill at the fence, this goes down a very steep and rocky trail to a dead end on a ridge that is still a couple hundred feet above the highway - I chose to climb down rather than climb back up, a very dangerous situation.
