Intermediate Trails

Draino -

Intermediate - some technical terrain and climbing

1.05 miles

Typical Ride Time: 20 minutes

Description:

This trail can be ridden in two ways. Use it as the beginning of your ride at Parking
Lot B as described above. Draino is the primary gateway to the Wilkins Peak Trail System. The wash ride varies in the surface from shale, sand, or rock often depending upon previous rainstorms. Staying on Draino after the NoMoJo junction continues straight ahead. The trail climbs steeply for another 1/4 mile until the maximum elevation of Draino has been achieved. Once out of the wash canyon you’ll meander east and south across the plateau where the trail crosses Forest Service Road 171, which brings you to the junctions of Brent & Mike’s Trail and Pick Your Poison. If you have already ridden the trails that connect Pick Your Poison with Brent & Mike’s then you’re ready to head back down.
Here is the second way; use Draino for an incredible downhill test of your suspension and be prepared to giggle like a little girl when you get out of the canyon. Draino is a workout climbing up but an amazing rush coming down, turning ledges you climbed up into launching pads and high banked turns flying down.

Directions:

To get to the trailhead from Parking Lot B, (N 41⁰ 29.604’, W109⁰ 25.761’), start on the Scott’s Bottom Road and turn right through a wash in front of you and follow a two-track road south around the hill, towards the river, working your way southeast to the canyon. Drop here through the next ravine following the right fork up the canyon. Your next drop will be in the wash where the trail meets Fast Exit coming down. Make a left turn and proceed up the wash as it makes its way up. The trail will take the obvious forks in the wash and the trail stays in the wash until climbing out and passing the upper trailhead for NoMoJo Trail on the right.

Don’t Chute -

Intermediate climbing, off-camber, and minimal exposure

1.22 miles

Typical Ride Time 15 minutes

Description:

This trail is an alternate route up if Draino becomes flushed. That‘s not to say that it’s not a great warm-up for getting to the upper trails. You start out on 2-track for about 0.2 miles, turning to singletrack at this point you begin a steady climb up to the saddle in the ridge. From there on out you’ll remain at that level, weaving in and out of several drainage formations with occasional sections of narrow singletrack, exposure, and off-camber pedaling. At 1.2 miles you’ll intersect Draino and NOMOJO

Directions:

Intermediate climbing, off-camber, and minimal exposure Don’t Chute: This trail starts at Parking Lot B. Start on the Scott’s Bottom Road and turn right through the wash and follow 2-track to the left of the buck rail fence. Proceed along the base of the ridge on the 2-track, which will turn in singletrack once you cross another 2-track. The singletrack will traverse up to a saddle in the ridge and at that point, you will be on 2-track again for just long enough to spot the rock cairn on the right. Follow this singletrack around until it
meets up with Draino & NOMOJO.
