Description

An out-and-back trail ride through a wondrous landscape. This trail is rocky in places, and less so in others. The tread is narrow. There are a few tricky bits, but overall it's an easy climb until you start up the left fork.

The left fork is an engaging climb that ends at the base of The Brow. Hike-a-bike to the top of the Right Fork and loop back to the main stem of Rocky Canyon (see The Rusty Nail) or descend back down the way you came!
