RABBIT VALLEY TRAILS
pt. I
May 12, 2019: ZION CURTAIN | Mack, CO • 🚲
The Zion Curtain/Western Rim Loop starts and ends in Colorado and crosses into Utah. It gets you far away from civilization and into the high desert. The first 6 miles are a combo of dirt road then double track before you hit the single track of the famous Zion Curtain. Zion Curtain is primarily a climb to the ridge (which absolutely killed me after running with the dinos), but showcases spectacular views of Rabbit Valley and eventually the Western Rim.
CLIMB: 2196 ft • MILAGE: 20.86 mi

RABBIT VALLEY TRAILS pt. II
May 12, 2019: WESTERN RIM | Mack, CO • 🚲
From the top of the Western Ridge you can cruise down the valley floor to hop back onto two track. 5-6 miles of rollers to the Western Rim single track with great views of the CO river… then head back through Rabbit Valley for the last 4-5 miles to the complete the loop. This shouldn’t have been very difficult but balance was hard to come by with heavy legs and a lackadaisical mentality.
CLIMB: 726 ft • MILAGE: 8.25 mi
RECAP DAY 6: CLIMB: 2196 + 726 ft = 2922 ft • MILAGE: 20.8 + 8.2 = 29 miles
