Newer singletrack in Moab. It follows the Klondike Bluffs trail for a bit, then spurs off. It is well signed. A combination of a little doubltrack, slickrock, and singletrack. The singletrack is fun and has good variety. Do it as an out and back, or hook up with the Klondike Bluffs trail for a loop. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
