Description

Mystery Ditch is like the Kessel Run in Fruita, but in a ditch that is a few feet deep. It is a short section of trail that would be fun to ride in either direction and is worth adding on to any ride in the area.

Access this trail off of Chukar Rd or Elephant Skin Rd. It is essentially a side trail of off the Moonlight Mesa trail.
