Milk and Cookies Loop:
Got Milk? And Cookies.
Plus beginner-level Combo trail
option. This ride is an six-mile loop on McCoy Flat west of Vernal. It can be ridden either direction. The components are the Got Milk? trail to the west of the McCoy Flat road, plus the And Cookies trail on the east side. The ride is quite easy technically. There's only about 200 vertical feet of climbing for the entire ride. An even-easier option is to link And Cookies with Combo. This makes a 3.5-mile loop of very easy singletrack suitable for beginners. |
