Trail Overview
Joshos is a 2.2-mile-long trail in Hartman Rocks that has a mix of fast easy stuff, moderate rock features, and scenic sections, making it a fun one to add to your ride through the recreation area. It makes a half loop off of Rattlesnake Junction Road. The west end of Joshos starts out very fast through the desert as a dirt trail having to go through a lot of whoops. This one probably gets a lot of use. It meanders the sagebrush hills, crossing ravines and going through a metal pinch point, with not a lot of features for the first half. On the southern part of the loop, it goes through a lush grove of aspen trees, making it more interesting than the barren desert terrain. It comes up to a few rock slab features that are moderate difficulty, like ramped rock ledges up to a foot tall, or a steeper long slab of rock. The slab rock has great traction, so it isn't overly difficult. The trail goes through some pine trees with beautiful rock cliffs in the background, making it really scenic.
