More Hoes
More Hoes is a four-mile advanced technical singletrack that climbs to a mesa top overlooking US-40 west of Vernal. To reach More Hoes, you need to ride a bit of the Got Milk trail and return via Retail Sale. The minimum ride is 7.3 miles. With Retail Sale as an optional return, the ride becomes 12.1 miles. The actual More Hoes trail has only 350 feet of absolute elevation change, but up-and-down riding will add up to 800 vertical feet of climbing. There are some grunt climbs, loose corners (both uphill and down), and a few tricky spots. This makes More Hoes a ride for experts.

Getting there:
While driving toward Vernal on US-40, pass mile marker 138, then turn right on the narrow paved McCoy Flats road (unmarked, N40 23.427 W109 35.752). If you miss McCoy Flats road, go to the viewpoint overlooking Vernal and backtrack exactly 2 miles, then turn left into the road. Drive 3 miles to a corral on the left and park there. The trail starts directly across the paved road from the corral. At the doubletrack, veer right onto singletrack trail.
