Description
Wildcat starts at the Mustang and is a fun trail that stays higher up along a ridge for almost a mile where it joins a new singletrack section of the 7-Up trail. It can be used with Hildalgo to create a loop or the 7-Up to get over to the Mag 7 trailhead. The trails in this system reflect the rugged and challenging terrain they are built within. Tight corners, constant grade changes, are present. Surfaces vary from hard pack to slickrock to a bit of sand as the trails wind their way through pinion pines and rock canyons, all the while delivering unparalleled views of the majestic Moab area.
