Description

This short loop is smooth dirt singletrack for almost its entirety, aside from a few rocks and a pair of cattle guards. In either direction, you'll travel south from the Moab Canyon Paved Path, riding gently downhill along a wide ridge with nice views of Moab Canyon, before turning almost 180 degrees to head back up the ridge to the paved path.
