Description

It's just a Jeep road, but one heck of a workout when ridden back to the TH (east to west), as it's most commonly done. It makes a return route to the Third Flats parking lot after descending Twist-N-Shout to Butterknife or riding down Art Cook's View. You can also use it to return to Little Park Road after descending some of the trails off the Bangs Canyon TH for an epic ride!

When taking this road back up, there are many steep sections. They are all rideable lung-busters for the intermediate biker. There are also some large rock chunks, but you'll find easy lines through most of them when you look. Be cautious of moto and 4x4 traffic, especially on weekends in the Spring and Fall. This road gets VERY slick and slidey when wet due to the clay content of the soil. Best to just stay off after a rain.

Climbing the never ending jeep road back to the top. One of the only rides in the area where the reward comes before the punishment.
