8600D

Trail Overview

8600D is a technical desert single track with several rock ledge obstacles. The north end starts on a wide spine of a mesa with a big rock problem right away that is a hill climb with a jagged rock ledge at the top. It has a lot of downhills with loose dirt on top of rock ledges and slab rock. There's often a way to pick an easier line because they are wide trails with wide rock obstacles. It would be much harder to go up these obstacles because it is hard to get traction with all the loose dirt. It weaves in and out of pinyon pine, and at the south end of the trail, it goes into a small wooded creek. Most of the year there probably isn't much water here, but in the early spring and summer, you actually have to ride in the creek for about 30 feet before climbing out to the top of the mesa again. The trail ends on a dirt road that you can take back to the Colorado River Road 301.
