A great trail - just under seven miles - for an after work mountain bike ride or hike. For mountain bikers this is a technical trail that intermediate to advanced riders will find fun and challenging. For hikers it's a great trail to escape back into the red sandstone. Bring water; it can get hot during the middle of the day even in November. Only minutes away from downtown Grand Junction. From I 70 loop/ highway 50 turn on Grand following signs to Colorado Nat. Monument, go over the bridge, turn left on Monument Rd., go a couple of miles and the trailhead is on the left.
