At the mouth of the canyon is a parking area where this ride begins. There are four Indian petroglyph panels along the canyon walls. Pedal north for 0.5 mile, then turn right next to the old building and head east on the narrow road. The road here is evident and continues uphill through the canyon. It is an easy pedal novices can enjoy that goes to the ghost town of Sego, an old mining town once supporting a population of 500.
More advanced riders can continue up canyon and climb onto the plateau above.
After 11 miles the road ends at a locked gate that marks the Ute Indian Reservation boundary. Please do not trespass. Retrace the route back to your vehicle and enjoy the downhill cruise all the way. The Book Cliffs and the Roan Plateau are two of the most inaccessible areas in the lower 48 states. These canyons and mesas used to be the home of the Fremont Indians and are now inhabited by the Ute Indian Tribe.
