GREAT WESTERN RIM TRAIL
| RATING
|
 The singletrack follows the spetacular cliffs of the western rim. MORE RIDE PICTURES |
STARTING POINT: From Grand Junction, follow I-70 west about 30 miles to the Rabbit Valley exit (Exit #2). Turn left (south) at the stop sign, cross over the freeway and a cattle guard. We reccomend you park at the parking area here, but if you want a shorter ride and have a 4WD, you can continue to the McDonald Creek Trailhead. There are great sections of singletrack on Trail #2 that you will miss if you drive to McDonald Creek Trailhead.
McDonald Creek Trailhead - Stay on the main road going straight (southwest) for about 2.5 miles. Drive with caution, the road is very narrow in several places and has a couple of blind corners. The turn into the canyon is marked by a very large rock which looks like a gumdrop. When you reach this rock, you'll turn left (east) onto another two-track road which follows the stream bed for about .3 mile to a parking area. CAUTION: A high clearance vehicle is required to get this trailhead.
TRAIL TYPE: SINGLE TRACK 80%, DOUBLETRACK 20%
APPROXIMATE RIDE TIME: 3-5 hours
DIFFICULTY: Advanced with some technical sections of singletrack.
