 | Little Canyon Singletrack
The Little Canyon ST is 2.3 miles of fairly easy riding on slickrock and singletrack. The trail leaves the Gemini Bridges road at the Metal Masher intersection and descends to a spot near the beginning of the Gold Bar Rim trail. The vertical change is 350 feet, with top altitude 4900. You can do it out-and-back, make a loop ride of 3.9 miles, or combine it with Arth's Corner for a 7.3-mile figure-8. |

 | Getting there:
From I-70 and
Crescent Junction, drive south on US-191 for 20 miles (about 9 miles north
of the Colorado River if you're driving out from Moab) to Highway 313.
Drive 13 miles on 313 to the Gemini Bridges sign and turn L onto dirt
road. (For the Mag 7 ride, start here.) To start at Gemini Bridges
(combining Arth's Corner), drive down the gravel road 6 miles then turn
right to the Gemini Bridges parking area. To start at the Little Canyon
ST, continue 1.4 miles past Gemini and turn L on the Metal Masher road
and
park on the shoulder. Alternate from 191: Two miles south of the 191-313 junction, cross the railroad tracks to a dirt road. Climb a scary steep path over the skirts of the hill and follow the road 6 miles to Metal Masher. |
