About Rim Ramble Trail

Recommended Users: Mountain Bikers, Hikers. Singletrack trail. 0.78 miles in length. Difficulty: Moderate/More Difficult. From the trailhead, follow the Cove Wash West Trail (an existing two-track) until it drops into Cove Wash. Turn left into the wash to follow the Cove Wash East Trail for approximately 0.3 miles. Turn right onto an ATV track (which is the start of the Rim Rock Trail) that climbs up and out of the wash. Turn right at the first two-track intersection and continue traveling west up to the OHV exclusion fence and stepover. Continue up the two-track for approximately 1/8 mile. To avoid some large rocks in the two-track, the Rim Ramble Trail starts on the left and skirts this obstacle.
