Green Valley to Cove Wash to Stucki Loop
Head north on the doubletrack as though you're starting the Desert Rampage race. Follow the race course. When you hit the last doubletrack before Keyhole Wash, turn right. Follow it north until it drops down into a wash. Follow the wash all the way to the Stucki Springs Road. If there's water in the wash, you may want to fork to the right on doubletrack that parallels the wash. When you reach Stucki Springs Road, turn left and follow the road. Keep left at the road fork (right takes you to the Rim Rock trails). After dropping down a hill, you'll find the singletrack across the fence on your left. Please print map separately. |

Getting there, Green Valley: Take the Bluff Street I-15 exit in St. George and turn west. Immediately turn south (left). Go over the hill and turn right on Dixie Drive. Keep straight past the golf course and some businesses. Turn left at the sign for Green Valley Spa. (If you reach a "Green Valley Market" with gas pumps, you just passed it. Turn around and backtrack to the second road on your right.) Drive past the spa and park at the end of the road. From the top of the mesa, ride down into the valley and head north (to your right) onto the doubletrack racecourse. |
