Trail Overview
This is a second option for entering the Little Moab area that is a little more scenic and fun. On the way back out especially, the views of the valley and mountains to the west are beautiful. As you begin the trail, you can stay to the right and climb the mountain, then drop down into Little Moab (just stay on the trail to the right). Alternately, staying to the left will take you along the base of the mountain on the west, after which there will be a fairly steep hill climb followed by a drop into Little Moab. Both are great options--not too technical by any means.

Difficulty
Expect ruts and rocks. There's nothing too crazy, depending on the line that you choose to take. Some of the steep and off-camber sections going up the mountain can increase the difficulty.
