TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

reviewed by BobinConifer on September 5, 2007

Fun ride that makes a great loop when coupled with the Portal Trail. I rode this in late May 07 with 3 riders that were much stronger than I was so I got gassed prety hard. It's a good x-country style ride for Moab with some flat riding (watch out for lots of sand) and then some long steady climbs on mixed slickrock and loose rock/sand. Nothing too technical but some fun steep slickrock climbs that will test your balance and some challenging multiple step drops. I rode this on my hard tail Lightspeed and it was the wrong bike for sure. In fact thats the wrong bike for Moab period. Although later I rode Upper Porcupine with a bunch of locals and one of them schooled just about every one of our large group on a hard tail WITH NO FRONT SHOCK!!!!
