Medicine Wheel Trail Guide

Ute Valley Park

A short loop (about 3.7 miles) in the northwest part of town. Some nice sandstone singletrack, with a few interesting technical features. Usually clear in winter, but when wet can produce sticky, slick mud. If in doubt, CHECK THE CONDITIONS before you go. Watch for rattlesnakes in summer.

READ THIS DISCLAIMER, IT'S IMPORTANT!

  • Mountain biking and recreation in the outdoors in general can be a hazardous activity.
  • The maps, photos, files and other information provided on this web site are provided as is, with no guarantee of their accuracy.
  • The posted information is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended as a recommendation that you actually go out and travel these areas without additional preparation and knowledge.
  • Some of these trails may cross private property or be otherwise closed to public access. We recommend you check out the area you intend to visit with the appropriate authorities.
  • Some of these trails may be obviously long and technically difficult, but even those rated as "easy" could contain hazards.
  • Some of these areas may be a long way from roads or assistance. Self rescue may be required in the event of trouble.
  • Electronic devices can fail; bring paper maps and know how to use them. A cell phone may not work where you are going. In addition, you may get lost, become injured, be attacked by wild animals, or suffer the effects of weather, all of which could result in injury or death.
  • Be honest with yourself in assessing your own skill level. If you just bought a bike at Wal Mart and quit smoking last week, do not attempt, say, a six hour backcountry ride, or it could literally become a "death march".
  • Be prepared. We recommend you carry all appropriate safety gear, like helmets & gloves, as well as food, water, tools, a means for creating fire, and additional clothing. And common sense. Bring some of that along.

Have fun!
