Trail Overview

This short desert single track is less than 2 miles long but is full of moderate rocky challenges and varying terrain. From the south, it starts climbing the rocky bluff and goes up some small rock ledges right away, then over slabs of slick rock between small juniper bushes. As you wind through the bluffs, the ground is made of chunky, uneven rock layers. It rides next to the mesa's rim and giant boulders. It winds down the mesa on a skinny single track. More challenging obstacles are scattered throughout this trail, such as up and down multiple rock stair steps, each about a foot tall. There is sometimes white paint on the slickrock to help follow the trail, but other sections will require some navigation, so having a map is helpful. Many sandy fast sections are flat and straight, but you must watch out for sudden big dips and whoops. Near the north end, it goes down a long ramped slickrock section before ending at an intersection with another single track.

Access Description

The Chimney Rock/Woodside trail system is mostly made up of difficult rocky singletracks, plus a couple easier ATV trails, and lots of Jeep roads to explore. From Highway 6, turn west onto the Green River Cutoff Road, and follow the road for about 3 miles until the staging area. There are great dispersed camp sites along the Green River Cutoff Road for several miles.
