 | Knott Pete's Rim to Wyatt's Way,
plus Devil's Backbone
The Knott Pete's Rim trail heads east from the Luke's Trail parking area on the mesa north of Price. It connects to Wyatt's Way, a small loop overlooking the city. Riders also use Knott Pete's and Wyatt's to connect to The Devil's Backbone, a short trip along a razorback ridge followed by a plunge to the outskirts of the city. The Wyatt's Way Loop is a lariat loop of Knott Pete's Rim plus Wyatt's Way (4.4 miles) from the Luke's Trailhead. The Devil's Backbone Loop is a climb to the mesa rim then a traverse over to The Devil's Backbone with a plunge down to the playground (3.6 miles per lap, more if you stay and play). |
