Rabbit Valley

The Western Rim trail is one of the highlights of the area: over 6 miles of fast, scenic single track winding around rim above the Colorado River. The BLM Rabbit Valley 2 trail is not difficult, but makes for a good 3-4 loop ride.

Lunch Loop Trails

Loop ride from the main Tabeguache trail parking lot on Monument Road utilizing Eagle's Tail, Pet-e-Kes , Prenup trails to access Gunny Loop and Holy Bucket, Holy Cross, and Curt's Lane trails to return to the trailhead. 

18 Road Trails

Taking the furthest west trail in the networks, the Zippity Loop feels a little more remote than the other riding in the BLM 18 Road area. Because most people ride this one way (clockwise), and there are fewer intersections with other trails, you might not see many other riders. 

Much of the ride is high up on ridges and the scenery is a little more expansive on this ride compared to others in the area. 

Kokopelli Loops

The BLM Kokopelli trail travels a scenic and circuitous route through the desert from Loma, Colorado to Moab, Utah. It's about 150 miles of mountain biking on terrain varying from technical single track to pavement, but the majority of the trail is on old jeep roads.

Fruita Mountain Bike Trails

Fruita is now considered by many to be one of the premier mountain biking destinations in Colorado, with the perfect combinations of terrain to challenge riders of all skill levels and abilities. Take a leisurely ride on the 18 Road Trails managed by BLM and just soak up the peaceful Colorado beauty. Or go for it all out—hit the BLM Kokopelli trails, with steep climbs, hair-raising switchbacks, intense downhills, and technical challenges that test the best. There are so many choices, true believers will most likely want to experience all the trails, each for its own unique value.
