Deadman Canyon Loop

Trail Overview

This is an 8-mile-long single track that intertwines through Deadman Canyon. If you take the loop in a counter-clockwise direction, it is easier to do because of steep, loose inclines. The trail mainly twists through the cedars and crosses Deadman Creek dozens of times. The creek is generally dry and will only have water during storms, so advised not to ride while rain is forecasted, and it is recommended to wait a few days for the trail to dry out after rain. Sections of the trail have fun obstacles to challenge yourself, and if needed, there are bypasses around them. Has a good mixture of loose sand and rock inclines and declines as you make your way through the first half of the loop. This part of the trail can be more difficult for novice riders. Bikes generally do not leave 1st gear, so pay attention to the bike's temperature due to the lower speeds needed to get through obstacles. About halfway through the loop, the trail makes its way above the canyon, where the trail is more flowy and becomes easier for a few miles with good scenery of Deadman Canyon and the trail below. The last 1.5 miles of the trail drop into Deadman Canyon, where the trail becomes more technical before making its way back to the start of the trail.
