UT - JEM Hurricane - Goulds - China Wash Loop- Mountain Bike Trail Review with Map and Pictures |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Directions - From Springdale (Flanigans Inn),
take 9 west for exactly 15 miles, take left over bridge, travel up dirt road
and take a right at sign for hurricane rim, follow this road straight to end
and park.. Keep going straight on your bike to get onto china wash
singletrack, at the bottom its only 50 feet away but doesn not connect so
just bush wack to the single, you can see it!! |
Description - GREAT mix of single track for a nice long cruisy loop adventure.. JEM = Super buff single track with 2 nice steeps & small drops at the top, one tech 4 switchback, it ends with a nice cliff edge ride along the virgin river.. Hurricane = Bit rockier single track, some patches of checkerboard rock, some techs, along cliff, great views. End of trail near goulds has some nice switchbacks.. great trail.. Goulds = Starts off as desolate single - mushy but ok because its down, then buff single with some rock sections, the end turns into some roller coaster single fun.. China Wash = Great stuff - top of china wash is boney single, just how I like it with some 1 footers.. Loops - Crazy PUke loop worked great - ride everything in one day... Park you car above the china wash trail as described.. Go straight down rocky double track to wash, bushwack to trail, 50 feet away.. RIght on single, follow to hurricane rim (signs are confusing), just take a left on next single track, follow hurricane rim all the way to road, take right on road, quick downhill and immediate left on dirt UP, follow dirt uphill and take second left on double track (first left on faint single was hike a bike), after you take the left ride uphill through rusty cans and debris, looking for faint singletrack right.. Follow to Fence where the warn in goulds trail starts, nice cattle crossing jump, Follow goulds across pavement toward JEM trailhead but look on right for gully spur trail.. Out, back, just before you hit road again, look for right, 2 steps uphill on single that leads to jem.. Jem down switchbacks, through wash, past road look for left on china wash marked by 2 cairns.. Follow wash to point where you started and go back uphill toward car, past car and back to JEM trail take left, follow JEM down to hurricane rim, left on hurricane, back to china wash left, uphill back to satanic climb up to car.. Your done, spent, satisfied.. Pre-ride music: |
