Another fine trail description provided by our man, Fuzzy
TWO START-POINT OPTIONS: Either start from Toy Atwood Baseball complex on the north-end of 1100 east in Price, and head east on the two-track and up-around the H2O tank
OR
Drive east on 800 north to the end of the pavement,turn left (north) and follow the dirt-road up-around the H2O tank .....Follow the dirt road past the big tin shed with the big fans. About 150 yds farther on your right there's a big square rock and a little yellow circle; if you're driving, park around here.....................From here go north another 1/2 mile or so to the fork in the road. go right and after a left-right-left and a hard right and take "WILD-BUNCH WASH", a fast, technical singletrack along a creek, OR stay left at the fork and go another 1+ miles 'till you pass a well-pump above you on your left.
Take the next right and cruise about 250 yds to the next pump-pad and "UPPER WILDBUNCH" starts on the east edgeof the pad, a FAST singletrack running down to and through the WASH. At the bottem of this run, you'll climb up the double-track to your right (west) to a gate. Go over or close it behind you. A bit past the gate is a short section of singletrack to your left, which puts you out onto a dirt road east...................Follow the dirt-road as it winds along the foot of the mesa for about 1/8 mile and take the left fork. As you curve-around right, a small square "headstone" on your left marks entry to BEN'S SWITCH-BACKS, one of the tougher climbs around; tight, winding singletrack through trees & rocks & roots and on VERY exposed switch-back turns. SWEET!!
At the top of the switchbacks, stop & breathe & look-around at the Book-Cliffs,the Manti-La Sal forest, and the San Refeal Swell, then head north about 80 yds and drop into the singletrack to the left just before the big pump. This winds along and down into BRUCE'S CREVASE, a tight, gnarly wash- crossing, and back up into DUSTY'S DETOUR. This part just keeps getting better with big rocks and logs to ride (or fall off of). You come out onto another pump-pad and cross to the dirt road, turning right at the "T".
In a minute, you'll come to a cattle guard, and the singletrack drops in about 10 feet past it on your left. In this section is TRENT'S ROCK (you'll know when you see it).
Now you drop down to the south down a short, steep face and onto the DEAD-DOG SPINE.<<<WARNING: EXPERTS ONLY!!>>>...THis spine is EXPOSED and TECHNICAL. Narrow BRIDGE sections across the DEAD DOG ROCKS are not to be taken lightly!! After the D.D. rocks the spine continues south and onto the south mesa. The singletrack skirts the edge around the whole mesa, finally droping into a FAST downhill with several natural & articicial options, back down to the valley floor........................Across one more pump-pad, out the dirt-road, and 1/4 mile back to the square-rock / yellow circle parking spot., then it's downhill back to town.................................Allow for 2-4 hours if you're an animal, 3-5 if you're human, and plan accordingly. This one's a butt kicker!
