Need to Know

You'll park at Third Flats TH off Little Park Road. This trail starts a couple miles down Third Flats road. Look for Billings Canyon road on your right (not to be confused with Billings Canyon JEEP rd which you'll see first on your right). Take a hard right on Billings Canyon road and follow that for about 100 yards until you see the trail marker for Art Cook's View on your left.

Description

This trail is a hidden gem! You'll find solitude, pin-drop silence, and some fun chundery singletrack. One slickrock section offers some technical route finding, but its short and not too challenging. Descend some loose sections, play through some more rock, and then you're back at Third Flats Road. Head west to climb back to the parking lot or turn around and go back the way you came!
