Poison Spider Mesa

Trail Overview

This route has it all: fun obstacles and great scenery. It's common to drive the first portion heading to Golden Spike, but be sure to take the loop, as it offers slickrocks, a sandy hill to play on and an overlook you won't want to miss. Play with caution and be aware of mountain bikers in the area. If you want to get sidetracked for a bit, check out Barney's Overlook.

Difficulty

Difficult. Large awkward ledges with tippy spots. Many (not all) have bypasses. Modified vehicles with bigger tires, lockers and high ground clearance are best suited, but some drivers of newer aggressive stock SUVs are getting through with careful tire placement and the help of a good spotter.
