 | Retail Sale Retail Sale is a fun singletrack trail just west of Vernal. This loop undulates and twists 8 miles through colorful desert dirt and rock. Altitude is 5300 feet. Absolute altitude change is 300 feet; total climbing on this trail will be around 800. The trail isn't too tough aerobically, but it will be quite hot at mid-day in the summer. Because of narrow track, tricky sections, off-camber turns, and a bit of rough rock, we'd rate the trail upper-intermediate technical. It's a fun and fast ride. |

| While we found the center of the trail firm, the raised trail-edge is soft and will grab your tires if you drift off-line. Cactus and evil rocks await you at trailside. Stay on the trail! Conditions on this trail can change quickly, due to rain, snow, and cattle. We suggest you stop by Altitude Cycle in Vernal to get the latest trail conditions. Pick up a local trail guide with topo maps and detailed trail descriptions. |
