It is 100% slickrock, on top of Entrada sandstone. Once you get in there, you will see the painted bike tire trail marker. Some sections the painted trail marks has worn and blended into the rocks, so you might have to stop and look for the trail. Great scenery because you are riding right next to the famous Arches National Park. Overall it is an easy ride if you are comfortable with the Slickrock Practice 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.
