Trail Overview
This is a fun desert loop in Page, Arizona, that takes you out to a view of Lake Powell. It goes north from the dirt parking lot on Coppermine Road for 2 miles. Going counterclockwise from the south end, go past the RV park, and it's a red sandy track. Part of it is through a sandy wash between two sand banks. One spot has a ton of tumbleweeds in the track. It's fast and straight in the sand, but watch out for wash crossings when the trail suddenly dips down and back out. You can see out to the pink cliffs by Lake Powell as you're riding north, with big rock formations on the horizon. As you get near the canyon, the sand turns to slab rock, and you can stop at the view over the lake. You can go the same way on the way back, or you can take a parallel road for part of it, just to do something different. The parallel road is similar difficulty, made of sand, with lots of unmarked intersections.
