Directions - From Springdale, Flanigans Inn, go west on 9 exactly 4 miles to rockville and take a left onto bridge road, zero odometer, after bridge road curves right and turns into grafton road, follow uphill for 6.35 miles (from 9) and take a right.. drive 2.55 miles straight (there are some side roads) and take a left or bear left, now drive 1.04 miles to nice trailhead parking, on your way you may see people camping off to your left..

DRIVING MAP!! -

Description - All the slickrock you could ask for, and some excellent high-speed singletrack winding through moderate elevation scrub forests. Really fun lines, many short up and downs, nothing too gonzo.. Red dot trail is most technical, hidden canyon the most fun.. Killer area, your shoulders will be sore.. Its full on expert pretty relentless..

Loops - As suggested I tried the crazy 8 loop and it worked well.. South rim to red dot to hidden canyon left on fire road (or you can hit some north rim), to yellow trail sand bypass, to point, back on south rim to hidden canyon (skipping red dot), right on north rim, to practice loop, home..

Pre-ride Music:

Total Miles: 18 mile loop described above, probably 5 more miles of trails..

Nearest Coffee, Sushi or other food: Springdale (foot of Zion NP) Pizza Noodle 5 Stars. Good beer (Polygamy Porter). Or OSCARS - Breaksfast!! LINNER!!
