We recommend riding it counterclockwise to save the most exciting part of the trail for last.

Hiline Trail

Length: 10.3 miles
Skill: Challenging

Hiline Trail features a steep, technical climb to the top of the mesa, followed by a thrilling descent. The trail hugs the edge of the cliff, offering stunning panoramic views— but also serious exposure. With narrow singletrack and high risk sections, this route demands skill and caution. A fall in certain areas can cause severe injury, so ride within your limits.
