This mountain biking trail system is located 10 miles west of Vernal Utah. Around 40 miles of interconnecting loops originate from a trailhead on the McCoy Flats road. (The road is paved although narrow.) There's a very nice fenced parking area, bathroom, and excellent trail signage. The terrain is desolate "badland" of various types. BLM regulations specify that you ride only on signed trails. See the map at the bottom of this page for the trail layout.

It's advanced technical and fairly strenuous although short. It's reached via Retail Sale. The absolute altitude change is only 200 vertical feet, but you'll do multiple up-and-down trips, making the total climbing around 800.
