Good Water Rim Take 3


This is the third year in a row I do this trail called Good Water Rim Trail near the San Rafael.  Otherwise, called the Wedge Overlook, or Little Grand Canyon.  I love this trail because it's very unique and scenic.  There are no major climbs or anything and you can just go really fast through a maze of turns following along the rim.  And it goes on forever.


This is same self-portrait I do every year right in the same spot.  Hopefully many years to come!


I like this trail because it's 15 miles singletrack one way then 5 miles on the road on the return trip.  This time I parked right at the kiosk halfway right on the road so I wouldn't have to do the climb on the way back to the car, I did the climb first on the first couple of miles on the road then did the trail, then did the 3 miles back all downhill to the car.  It's nicer.


After my ride, which took 2.5 hours to complete, I decided to drive down to Buckhorn Draw to see the pictograph panel there.  They were amazing.  I had a good alone time trip and a great way to enjoy a fall ride this time of the year.  The trail is getting easier every year though, probably a good sign!
