PRIME CUT / KESSEL LOOP
| RATING
|
 |
COMMENTS: Another great loop with Prime Cut. The ride is mostly fast curving singletrack. Beware the trail can get nasty quickly in wet conditions. Combine these trails to make other loops in the area.The whole loop is good in either direction, but the descent down Lower Kessel is an awesome downhill ride though a skateboard park.
STARTING POINT: From Grand Junction drive west on I-70 to Fruita Exit (#19). From the off ramp travel .1 mile then go right to the roundabout. Continue straight through the roundabout, travel 2 blocks and turn left on Maple Street. Travel 4 miles north on Maple St. (17 1/2 Rd). Turn right at N. 3/10 Rd, travel .5 mile to 18 Rd. Go north on 18 Rd for 7.5 miles to a parking area on the left. A carsonite post across the road directly across for the parking area is where the single track begins.
DIFFICULTY: Moderate fast singletrack
