A great family ride or a great ride. Very basic trail with enough fun factor for the advanced and a great experience for the novice. Fun for all and all for fun. Good warm up ride if you are riding Horsetheif Bench and beyond or want to tack on some miles at the end of a tour of Kokopelli's.

Like a lot of people, I only intended to use this to add a few miles to my Horsethief ride but the big surprise was that it's actually a really fun loop. There are interpretive signs that give you tips on how to be a better rider, though nobody I saw was reading them. Still, it's a fun little loop that compared to the Vegetarian is a little more interesting and scenic. I'll ride this again if I'm in the area and just want a quick little easy ride.

This has to be the best beginner trail in existence, as well as the perfect introduction to Fruita. What's more, it can also be fun for an advanced rider--just see how fast you can take the corners. The trail has great flow throughout, and gerat scenery to boot.

A relatively short piece of prime singletrack for everyone to enjoy, with decent flow. Nice views of the Colo. River.

A fun little warm up ride to hit before heading over to Mary's and Horsethief Bench. The last bit of the trail is fast and smooth. Great trail for beginners that has signs with tips on them placed throughout the ride.

A great, short ride. I frequently will stop and hit this as I am cruising on I-70 between Denver and Moab. Not super technical, but enough to keep it fun. Highly recommended for beginners because the fun factor will stay high while giving them a chance to improve skills.

A really fun, really fast trail that is, like R3 said, a great warm up for the Mary's/Horsethief pair. Gorgeous views, smooth typical Fruita singletrack with a few small slickrock sections to work on your skills for what lay ahead on the more difficult trails.

This is a great trail. It was designed to be a beginner's loop, but it is fun for all skill levels. Sorry, no gnarly drops or anything, but you can zoom around some fun corners. The kids (OK, the adults too) like to stop and toss rocks off the cliff into the river (watch out for rafters!). Most people ride it clockwise, but it is fun to ride it counter-clockwise too (especially the downhill near the start).
