Black Dragon Wash. Doubletrack long downhill with shuttle, terminating in impressive ride through narrows of Black Dragon Canyon. Option of out-and-back from lower trailhead through best area of ride. Large slickrock area with view deep into canyon. Easy-intermediate technical. Season late April through November. |
 |
Dead Dog Loop. Sections of technical singletrack joined by doubletrack to form loop in the Book Cliff area just outside of Price. Intermediate technical, one extreme-tech section. Occasional moderate climbing. Season March through November. |
 |
Dee Pass Loop. Loop in the desert south of Green River combines singletrack, dirt road, and ATV track. Intermediate technical. Occasional moderate climbing. Remote area. Season March through November. |
 |
Devils Racetrack. Technical ATV-type trail, runs along Devils Racetrack chasm, and under spires and castles of colorful sandstone. Interesting riding and fantastic views. Upper-intermediate to advanced technical, moderately strenuous aerobic, moderate climbing. Out-and-back, easier rides possible by turning back sooner. Season late April through November. |
 |
Five Miles of Hell. Highly technical (extreme-level skills required) 7 miles on rough slickrock. We describe a 20.6-mile loop. Moderate climbing but in hundreds of short bursts. Reserved for strong, conditioned, skilled riders. Season late April through November. |
 |
Iron Wash. Sampler of San Rafael riding, with doubletrack, desert singletrack, and very technical (rough) slickrock singletrack. We describe an 18.4-mile loop using the Blue Trail and a portion of the Red Trail, alternate connecting trails (Red Trail, Green Trail, Orange Trail, Five Miles of Hell). Advanced technical overall; reserved for strong, conditioned, skilled riders. Season late April through November. |
 |
Luke's Trail. Twisting singletrack through pinion and juniper in the Book Cliff area just outside of Price. Fun trail, some nice views. Intermediate technical. Fairly flat, few wash crossings. Excellent choice for a first ride in the Price area, fun for differing ability levels. Season March through November. |
 |
Mead's Rim. Short twisting singletrack through pinion and juniper descending along the edge of a mesa in the Book Cliff area just outside of Price. Occasionally used as a return route to Price from Luke's Trail. Upper-intermediate technical, with one extreme technical descent. Not your first choice for a Price ride. Season March through November. |
 |
Nine Mile Canyon. Dirt road through scenic canyon, very gradual slope. Excellent for family rides. Indian rock-art, pioneer homestead ruins, banded sandstone cliffs. Ride as long out-and-back (46 miles or more), point-to-point with support vehicle accompanying bikes 6 to 23 miles), or park-and-explore. Season late April through November. |
 |
Temple Mountain. Doubletrack route offers two loop rides: around Temple Mountain and west of the San Rafael Reef, or through the Reef and around the mountain. Uranium mines, views. Moderate climbing with some steep sections, intermediate technical, length around 10 miles. Season late April through November. |
 |
White Wash. Drop off the mesa on singletrack to open areas of Entrada Sandstone on the shoulders of White Wash, about 20 miles from Green River. White Wash is primarily a motorcycle and ATV area, so bring your mountain bike when you come with a crowd of dust-raisers. No marked trail, open rock for exploration. Season March through November. |
| Our goal for 2003 will be to ride and map more trails in this region. Great trails, hopefully. Please email ride suggestions to Bruce@UtahMountainBiking.com. |
