Description
Scenic trails that mostly follow the Colorado River canyon rim. Singletrack is used by motorcycles, but is surprisingly solid. There are a few junctions along the way that can be confusing, but it you stay along the rim until the back side of the lollipop then you should be fine. However, I recommend getting the regional guidebook to keep you straight. This trail can connect with the Western Rim trail via the Western Rim Connector (see guidebook). A good, solid, scenic ride with mileage and some technical areas.

Review: This ride is a bit of an adventure. Although it is only 20 miles with relatively little elevation change, there is a good amount of soft sand, and there are numerous ledges that require some effort. The scenery is great, but watch out for the motos on a busy weekend. If you're looking for something different in Fruita, this is it. There is plenty of technical fun here to keep you entertained. Being a moto trail with all the sand, this trail seems as much like Moab as Fruita, but with more trees.

Review: This is an OK change of pace from the other trails in the Fruita and Grand Junction area. Since it is a motorcycle area the trails tend to be soft, wide, and riddled with throttle induced whoop-de-doos. I recommend riding the biker only trails further up the valley till you are tired of them before hitting this area.
