This "trail" connects the Tabeguache and Kokopelli's Trails and mostly follows jeep and forest roads. Trail is well marked with signage in many locations. Long, tough climb out of Paradox Valley but the changes in scenery are well worth it! Paradox Valley B&B is a great place to stay and rest up for the big climb into Utah! Courtesy of Singletracks.com
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.
