Ryman Creek was recently rerouted and worked on and it turned out great! It is a multi-direction, multi-use (no motos but will see horseback) backcountry trail between Rico and Dolores.

As a descent, this trail is smooth for the most part and easygoing. It traverses some hillsides and can be a tad uneasy for folks with worries about edges but overall is bench-cut in sections and not a worry. It holds a fairly good grade and would keep you moving, not too fast, not too slow. It does however have punchy climbs at the bottom.

As a climbing trail, it is awesome to have around for access to other trails such as Salt Creek nearby. The climb is challenging yet easy. Nothing is too technical going up climbing but it does hold a grade just steep enough to be a tad more taxing. It does a great job on its route and provides beautiful views along the way. I would highly suggest it for backcountry access in the area rather than grinding up fire roads.
