Four miles west of Fruita right off Exit 15 in Loma are the
renowned Kokopelli trails. With spectacular views of the Colorado
River, outstanding single and double-track, the varying terrain
provides something for everyone. Take a spin through
Mary's Loop, Horsethief Bench or Lion’s Loop, and don’t
forget your camera.
Just north of Downtown Fruita. Experience singletrack galore
with steep ups and downs, flat prairie cruisers, and a mix
of smooth and rocky terrain. With names like Chutes and Ladders
and Zippety Doo Daa, you know you’ll have a good time. Watch
out for the cows!
25 miles West of Grand Junction on I-70, Rabbit Valley is
a sleeper hit. Spend the day enjoying slickrock and singletrack
with breathtaking views of the Colorado River. Right
at the Colorado/Utah border, Rabbit Valley trails offer the
feeling of getting away without going away. Best to have
a little experience under your belt; most Rabbit Valley trails
are rated moderate to difficult.
The locals’ hotspot. Just minutes from downtown
Grand Junction, Tabeguache provides some of the valley’s
best technical and singletrack riding. You’ll get
a workout as you climb either the main Tabeguache road or a
number of singletrack routes with varying degrees of difficulty. Fine-tune
your skills on top-to-bottom Eagle’s Tail and Eagle’s
Wing or enjoy a lap on the favorite Holy Cross.
WHEREVER you ride, make sure to have plenty of water, wear
your helmet and know your limits.
