Description: This trail is a combination of a network of trails. I rode it counter clockwise. I starts out with the Gould Rim, then on to the JEM trail, and finally to Hurricane Rim. This is a great intermediate ride. Very fast, rolling hills. Not a lot of climbing. If you dont want to do the whole 21 miles, consider just doing the JEM trail out and back.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

By doing the whole network (Hurricane Rim, Gould's Rim, JEM Trail), you get a 22 mile near epic loop. I recommend turning on the dirt road a couplemiles before the JEM trailhead and taking it to the end of JEM, which is also where the Hurricane Rim begins. That way, you get to finish the ride with JEM, which has the best flow, is the funnest of the three, and is primarily downhill. Start out going west on the Hurricane Rim, which has the most tech bits and the biggest climb. Transition to the Gould's Rim, which has some tech, some doubletrack, and some flowy BMX-style ups and downs. Then finish with the JEM, which is a mostly big-ring affair, except for the one very technical drop from the top into the wash. I thought this loop was somewhat overrated, but still well worth doing.

JEM rips! Especially if the trail is tacky and no wind. You are in Hurricane. Fast and flowing, this trail is a must do for singletrack enthusiists.

Pretty fun singletrack network, best after they have had some rain though, can get quite loose and dusty.
