This loop is recommended clockwise, but counter-clockwise would be fun too. Begin at the parking and trailhead area at the intersection of Duane's World and Chicken Wing. Climb the gentle contours for approximately 3 miles and 700' of vertical gain.

At the intersection of South Rim , stay right and continue climbing a little farther. The descent begins shortly after. At mile 6, stay right, turning onto Sunny D (Southern Cross). Descend the rolling, playful buff singletrack all the way to the Contour Trail. Take Contour Trail all the way back to the Signal Peak road you parked on. There is about 1/8 mile gentle climb back up the road to the trailhead.
