Review: Nothing is easy on this network, just ask my ribs. Done a few trails here fantastic riding. Not for the inexperienced, 25 years of riding a MTB and I got caught on a intermediate section not paying attention. Don't do that, it is painful.

Review: Rode up Pet - E - Kes to ravens to curts in the hard packed snow. Trail had nice tacky snow and using zip ties worked great.

Review: This is a whole network of trails. you could not ride thes in a week. all trails are for the advanced. lots of sigle track, brutal climb up widowmaker.

Review: This trail system is amazing! I've lived in Grand Junction a few days now and I've ridden it twice. First ride started at the Tabequache' trailhead, took Pet-e-Kes up, then High Noon, then Raven's Ridge, then Kurt's Lane back to the car. GREAT Loop, some hard climbs, but some fun down hill in sections too, also some technical. Second time did the Miramonte Loop with a section of Holy Bucket - this ride was FUN, challenging and technical in spots but also super flowy in others. Anyway, I can't wait to try out more loops! You could be here for a week and not ride it all!

Review: Absolutely recommend to anyone who in that area. Lot of rocks, jumps, drops, twisty turns and crazy downhills. These trails rocks!!!

Review: This is high desert riding at its best. Something for everyone. From the double diamond trails Free Lunch and Pucker up, to beginner trails like Kids Meal and Ali Loop, and everything in between. My favorite trail here is Pet-E-Kes

Review: Rode this trail last week and it is a great ride. Very technical, some rocky areas, but as good as it gets. There are many other trails and many miles to ride. Plus Grand Junction is a great town and a great bike shop in town if you need anything. Would love to spend a week there.

Review: Give it a 4 only because I rode it after a rain storm. The surface is very slick and resulted in several nice get-offs. The views are spectacular and there are some challenging sections and hike a bikes, depending on which trail you take. Helps to have a trail map (the info center was out of them) othetwise you can end up on a private trail or even back in Grand Junction. I parked at the Tabeguache parkin lot (on Mounument Rd.) and took Pet-a-Kes up to Taheguache trail. Holly cross down to Holey Buket, to Bunker to Clunker to Ali-Ali Loop to Curt's lane and then down Leftovet Lane (this is where a map would have been helful). Ended up on Marount Rd. and blacktopped it back for about a mile via Maramount Rd and Monument Rd. to the parking lot. About 11 miles total.

Review: cmack819 said it best: this trail rocks...though it should be named 'Eat You for Lunch Loop' because some of the downhills out here can tear you up if you are not careful. I had several ball busting falls on a 5in travel bike, and though I consider myself a fairly skilled rider, I am not ashamed to say I walked down some of the sections when I first rode them. For this reason, I love these trails...no matter how good you *think* you are, there is always some part of one of the trail you can work on and be better...and get a great workout getting to them, even if you already know them like the back of your hand. These trails are equally technical to some of the hardest trails in Moab and Fruita. Wish I lived in Grand Junction....

Review: It doesn't get much better than this trail system. Park at the Monument Road trail head and you will have some technical/strenuous climbs that result in some spectacular descending trails. Park at the Little Rock Road Trail head and access a bunch of other trails (The Ribbon, Pre-Nup) which can be accessed from a long and muscle burning climb from down below. This trail system offers something for nearly every level of rider. Beginners hit the Kids Meal loop of subtle climbs and small rock gardens. Unfortunately, this is where the gap is. It is a long skip and a jump from Kids Meal to the next level of riding in the trails. Many consist of tight singletracks that offer a rather frightening penalty of error. However, if you have crested the hill of mediocrity in your technical riding abilities, you will be able to have fun on this trail system for years! If you are in the Junction area, this is a must for avid cyclists. Many will argue between this, Kokopelli Trail System and the 18 Road Trails, but in my opinion the Lunch Loops provide some of the most spectacular riding in the area...

Review: This is a huge network of tough intermediate to expert trails. in 2010 many new trails were added which increase the amount of intermediate riding. Definitely try the new trails Miramonte Rim, Holy Bucket, Clunker, Ali-Ali and Ravens Ridge. Get to them via Kurts Lane from the parking lot. Kurts also has a new section of single track right on the canyon edge. All the new trails add up to huge FUN.

Review: Incredible network. Fun playground-type area off the left initially. Some huge climbing if you want it. Real technical sections, killer singletrack with great flow, rim-riding, a couple freeride spots, smoking downhills. All around a fantastic network, one of the better ones I've ridden in CO.

Review: Great riding area very close to town with great views, restrooms & maps at the parking area plus the trails are well singed. This whole area is a bit challenging, especially for us forest type riders from sea level, almost 5000 ft here. Not really any beginner trails here either. I rode up the Tabeguache tr which is the main route up and over the Widow Maker towards the top and then rode the Gunny tr back down. Fun, fast & challenging, when the map here indicates a double diamond spot that’s exactly what it means. – posted a few pics-

Review: This is an awesome network and highly accessible. There are trails here for every level of intensity or expertise. The most technical is Holy Cross, which is a flowy-er version of it's cousin, Moore Fun. The Ribbon can be a real hoot, but to climb up it is brutal, so it can better to climb the road or catch a shuttle. Andy's and Eagle's give you the best scenery, with fantastic views of the Colorado National Monument. The more recently built Pet - a - Kes trail finally provides a fun way up.
