A great starting point for exploring the numerous surrounding trails. Ideally, the descent via the Ribbon also ends here. From here, we took an Uber to the Ribbon trailhead to pick up our car. A good solution, as there are no shuttles available in the area, to our knowledge.

Several fantastic mountain bike loops crisscross the area. These are easily accessible from the trailhead.

A fantastic loop with magnificent views of the Colorado River canyon. The route is mostly flat, often technically easy, though a few sections are a bit more technical. It can be combined with other loops.

Super technical and rocky—expect tough climbs and fun, tricky descents. Take it slow, pick good lines, and enjoy awesome canyon views. Bring plenty of water and be ready for a real challenge!

This is a newer paved path built within the past few years. Now you can ride from Downtown GJ to the Lunch Loops almost entirely car-free.
