Notable Trail Features
Uranium Arch: A natural sandstone arch accessible via a short spur trail; a popular spot for photos and a quick hike.
Monitor and Merrimac Buttes: Distinctive rock formations named after Civil War ironclads; the trail passes between them, offering impressive views.
Determination Towers: Tall sandstone spires that provide a scenic backdrop and opportunities for exploration.
There are scenic cliffs and overlooks all along the trail. Also some nice arches!
There are fun waterfall/step-ups on the trail. This was Jonathan’s first electric bike after he sold his TE 300i. The Admit Jet. 0/10. Would not recommend. He would hit a bump and the throttle/power would completely cut out, haha. Fine on super smooth trails. Not fine here.
