Mountain Biking Western Rim

*****   Add a review
#164 of 1,368 mountain bike trails in Colorado
#1,147 in the world

You have to ride Rabbit Valley #2 Trail (see description) to access the Western Rim trail. After you decend the flat area near the end of RV #2 Trail, stay left. When it really starts to decend (and I mean decend), keep an eye out for a right turn that goes to another steep decent down to a bench - that's the Western Rim Trail. This trail has arguably the best scenery and rim riding in the area. The trail is still used by motorcycles, but not that much (and not nearly as much as RV#2). Not very technical, but it has it's spot. This trail eventually hooks up with the Kokopelli Trail that returns one bench above and returns to RV #2 below the flat area. Ride the Rabbit Valley #2 and Western Rim for a 20 mile ride!! Check out the area guide books for explicit directions. This is one of the few rideable trails when wet, along with RV #2.
