**This trail is featured on the Video Page (http://uutah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1469)**

This was our first ride of the weekend and a great place to start. I would suggest using a shuttle......the dirt road to the single stuff is 4 miles of misery for some. A good workout tho....

This is a great warmup trail and the views are incredible! Loved the trail along the 'edge' and the drops through the rocks. :2thumbs:

It was a great ride. Even the uphill was not too bad.

We got some killer helmet cam on this........:ride:

It's uploaded to Google as we speak. Just waiting for verification, and then I'll give you guys the link. :rockon: It's about 10 minutes long, and around 30MB.

Nice pics! looks like you at least had a little warmer weather than us last time! brrrrrrrrrr...

If you liked the JEM you should definitely consider doing the whole loop, starting from the canal trail parking lot. You'll get a nice warmup climb on the Gould's Rim trail, then some great cruisin' desert singletrack, then connect with JEM and ride right under Gooseberry Mesa, and finish off with a somewhat punishing but rewarding climb on the Hurricane Rim trail.

it's 20+ miles of scenic, SWEET trail. A month ago I wasn't quite ready to push my 40lbs of bike up those hills yet but it was still an awesome ride overall :2thumbs:

My helmet cam footage is up! Just click the thumbnail image at the top of the post.

This footage is of the 2nd half of the trail where you are riding the cliff edges.

Yeah, I had to mute the whole thing. Now only you guys know how bad I suck wind. Everybody else here on the forum thinks I'm hardcore.:hail2thechief:

If you watch carefully, you'll see the dark Lord Darth Vader peer out from the shadows, just to see how we're all doing.

OK, I've just compressed the videos again. Some were having problems with loading the larger files.

Let me know if these are loading any easier for you. Thanks.
