Description

Climb either the dirt road or singletrack connector to gain the start of the Scenic Loop Trail. Mostly flat, this trail wraps around the top of the 6 Graves Hilltop passing the John W. Brown Memorial where, you guessed it, six graves are located from early settlers of the area. Take a break and read about some local history.

Continuing past the memorial, the trail wraps around the hill top to the east. The dirt is firm and littered with partially buried softball-size rocks throughout. What this trail lacks in elevation and length it makes up for in views. The rider is treated to everything from sights of the La Plata mountains 50 miles to the north, Shiprock to the west, Angel Peak to the east, all of Farmington, and its never-ending desert to the south.

The loop ends back on itself where riders can return from where they came to the left, turn right to repeat the loop, or continue straight down the fun 6 Graves Descent downhill trail.
