Description

Ana's Trail starts near the highest point of the Palisades Canyon Loop and runs west around a hill before heading south on a nearly 2.0-mile, technical singletrack descent. The start of the trail is a Moab-like descent into an arroyo.

From there the trail continues up through a beautiful rock bowl before the rocky, technical singletrack begins. The singletrack part of this trail is meant to be ridden north to south; if you insist on riding it in the opposite direction you may find yourself hiking a good part of the way.

The singletrack section is quite narrow, has a steep drop off to the west for most of it and many tricky, rocky sections and a few technical arroyo crossings. The switchbacks near the end are quite a challenge and require precise line choice. The trail ends on private property but at least one of the two landowners is mountain biker friendly and a mountain biker himself.

Heading south near the start of Ana's Trail.

Another challenging short climb.  Hike it if you have to, the downhills are worth it.

Solid rock sections give you a taste of Moab.

You'll likely be hiking up some of the steepest sections, luckily they are short.
