Recommend starting this loop at the East Canyon Creek Trailhead.

You'll begin heading North on The Graduate Trail, ride over the bridge and you'll come to a fork in the trail. If you want the easier, less steep option, go to the left (this is technically The Graduate Trail). Many riders decide to go up the doubletrack trail to the right, it's steeper but shorter. Regardless, it ends up joining back up with The Graduate Trail so either way works.

After you go about 0.7 miles, you'll come to the Fink Again junction. Take a left and enjoy the mile climb up to the 24-7 Trail. It's a steady climb with lots of switchbacks and pretty views. Once you get to the 24-7 Trail junction, take a right. You'll traverse down and up on the 24-7 Trail for about 0.8 miles. You'll pass Ant Farm and Cutthroat downhill trails on your right, continue to ride over the short technical rock garden (beginners may want to walk this section) for another 100 yards - The Dropout will be on your right.

The Dropout is a downhill-only trail so let it rip! Get ready for some epic berms, features, jumps and drops. Every feature has ride around options so even beginner/intermediate riders will love it. Be cautious as you reach the bottom, at about 0.7 miles the trail will merge with Crazy Eights, so keep your eyes open for riders coming in hot.

After another 100 yards, you'll connect to the Bad Apple Trail, take the switchback, and climb back up towards Fink Again (If you go straight through the switchback, it will take you down to the Bad Apple Trailhead). At the Fink Again junction, take a left onto The Graduate Trail and head back down to the trailhead.

If you have more time and/or have more in ya, don't turn left on The Graduate and head back up Fink Again for another lap on The Dropout, or enjoy one of the other popular Bob's Basin downhill options - Crazy Eights, Ant Farm or Cutthroat (in order of difficulty).
