If not, park and embark. Bartlett Wash. The trail begins about 1 mile south at a fence marked by an old cottonwood and small, grassy meadow. In the brush you'll find a slickrock ramp that provides access to the sandstone playground. Pedal southward on the ledge and within 0.5 mile trudge through a long sand trap, and then hop back on the salmon-hued slickrock. Continue southwestward beneath the mesa on your right, which is capped with sandstone bonnets and lithified elephant toes.
Improvisation leads to hours of bicycle frivolity.
There are numerous arcuate bowls to surf in, solution pockets to dodge, and protracted slopes to test muscle against balance against the coefficient of friction. Just remember to keep your wheels on rock and away from pothole garden. About 1.5 miles out, the lens of slickrock wraps around the mesa's abutment, and Hidden Canyon cuts in from the west. There is too much fun to be had here. The route ends 0.5 mile farther, where broken cliffs plunge to the valley floor.
