In summer 2000, the trail was re-marked, with paint spots showing the path through the slickrock. It's obvious that a lot of thought went into making this trail fun. Perhaps that's because this route originated as a mountain bike trail, not as a horse or jeep trail. Rock surfaces vary from rough chinarump conglomerate to smooth kayenta sandstone. Constantly changing, and always challenging fun.

The loop using the South Rim to The Point, including the Yellow Trail, and returning via the Damn Trail and Slickrock 101 is 12.5 miles in length. We usually spend about 3 to 4 hours goofing off on this loop. Altitude change from the trail's beginning to The Point is around 100 feet. If you take the mesa road for your return, it will be slightly downhill on the trip back. Bruce cruises the cliff edge along the South Rim.
