Description: Ride SE on the frontage road for about 1.0 miles until you see a jeep road marked Lions loop (you can park here too). Climb over ridge and pass Mack Ridge on the right and Moore Fun on the left (1.1 miles). follow jeep road staying right until you see Lions Loop singetrack. There is 2.1 miles of singletrack that will put you out on doubletrack that make the remaining part of the loop. Great connector trail to other area trails. Scenic along the singletrack that parallels the Colorado River.

I think this is a fun ride. If you choose to ride up the long grueling fireroad you will be rewarded with great views and a for sure descent to the singletrack side of the ride. Yeah, the flow of this ride doesn't compare to others in the area however, it does offer a great cross-country ride. Lion's singletrack is more challenging than some of the easier loops in the Kokopelli Trail system and is a must do for the scenery alone.

By itself, this is not one of the better trails in the Loma area. One side is a boring, painful climb straight up the ridge on a super wide swath that looks like it was cut by a bulldozer. The singletrack on the other side is better, but still doesn't have the flow oor the atmosphere of other rides in the area. The singletrack portion does make a nice loop with either Mack Ridge or Troy Built.

Similar Trail: Mack Ridge, Moore Fun, Horsethief Bench, Mary's, Steve's (basically anything else in this network)
