Behind the Rocks

Trail Overview

Behind the Rocks is a really fun ride consisting of mostly over slick rock within the Hartman Rocks Trail System. It enters the slickrock right away from the north end, riding over long sections of embedded rock slab. Most of the slickrock is like a ramp, providing lots of traction, and not being too steep. There are spots where it's more like a series of small ledges, but they are still easy for the average rider, as they are ramped and wide, so there are multiple lines to choose from. It keeps riding over the slab, goes past a fence, through some little aspen trees, and against a tall rock wall, making it really scenic and unique. There are a couple sign posts in the rock slab to follow, but you want to have a map here during the rock slab sections as there are some turns that are easy to miss since you can't see all the tracks on the rock. It ends at the intersection with Freefall, which is more advanced. Behind the Rocks is a really fun one for mountain bikers as well, so be prepared to see other trail users.

Difficulty

This is an intermediate trail that has some moderate rock slab features throughout the short distance, but they are not overly difficult and should be manageable for the average rider.
