Aberdeen West Loop

Aberdeen West makes a fun loop with Aberdeen East that is fairly easy, with lots of fast and flowy sections. The south ends starts off of Lower Aberdeen Road and heads north for 3.4 miles. It goes through wide open pretty barren terrain that is just sagebrush and rock piles that you can see in the distance. While most of it is very fast, there are lots of sections with embedded rock slabs and layers of rock across the trail. All of the rock is pretty flat and rideable though, none of it being big rock ledges or significant obstacles. It rides right next to some of the rock piles, but you don't have to climb over them. This is one of the longer trails in Hartman Rocks, but it's at the very southern end of the recreation area, so it takes a while to access it and is likely much less trafficked. This trail is closed March 15 - May 15 for sage grouse conservation.
