Rodeo

Distance
8.7 ml

Length:
8.7 miles

Difficulty:
Intermediate; the length of this trail makes it moderately strenuous. 900 ft of climbing throughout its entirety; riders can expect a good descent at the beginning with a meandering climb back to the TH. It’s not a bad idea to bring extra water and plan on this ride taking you a little longer than expected. Rodeo is best ridden clockwise.

Type of Ride:
You will encounter sections of slickrock, sand, and dirt. This trail meanders through juniper/pinyon stands as well as open fields. This trail does not offer the vistas that some trails in the Horsethief area have. That being said, if you are looking for a fun, long ride that takes you into remote desert, then Rodeo is for you!
