Fruita & Grand Junction Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Fruita and Grand Junction are desert mountain-biking icons. The Kokopelli and Mary's/Horsethief loops sit on Colorado River bluffs, the 18 Road trails (PBR, Zippity, Joe's Ridge) flow over Bookcliffs clay, and the in-town Lunch Loops bake on slickrock and sandstone. It rides best in spring and fall, and the clay turns to peanut butter when wet, so conditions really matter here.
