Hiking
and Mountain Biking Trail #7
Bassett Springs Loop
Type: Loop Rating:
Advanced Length: 4 miles Riding
Time: 2 hours
Directions:
From Vernal head north 24 miles along US 191. The Bassett Springs
trailhead is well signed, lying directly across the highway
from the trailhead for the Range Study Loop. The trail is also
well marked with bike trail signs along the way.
Head north along the double track dirt trail. After about 1.5
miles, the trail gets steeper and deteriorates. About 1 mile
farther, the trail tops out on Grizzly Ridge. The views to the
south are worthwhile from here. The loop trail descends down
a steep, rocky section back to the trailhead. This section requires
excellent bike handling skills and a good deal of caution as
well. |
