Overview

A steady climb with a fast fun downhill, this ride makes use of two trails with a few connectors at the top.

Description

Starting from a small parking area on the map or from a number of other areas in town, head up the common trail for both trails. This trail is all singletrack with some easier switchbacks and a couple up and downs.

From a marked interception, turn left down Abrams Gulch. This starts off with a minor downhill section of singletrack. There are some minor turns and no significant obstacles. The trail then goes through a fence and over a small cattle grate.

From here, the next few miles follow doubletrack and steadily climb with the drainage off to the left. Eventually, the trail turns off to the right and climbs more steeply up and out of the drainage onto Abrams Ridge

Once you reach the top of the climb you can take a right which will bring you to a trail hub of World's Greatest, Abram's Ridge, Itch, and Scratch. From here you have a few options, but for the Abram's Loop, you'll want to head down Abram's Ridge.

The downhill has many fun turns, a couple of small obstacles, and plenty of up and down rollers. There are a few areas that can get rutted out. This is all singletrack and the best part of the ride.

Look for the great views along the ridge and back to the start of the trail and the car.
