Slickrock Practice Loop Description
The Slickrock Practice Loop is a fun, challenging little trail for hikers looking to feel the burn! This trail is used primarily as a mountain bike trail, so be aware of your surroundings and stick to the side of the path so bikers can zoom by. This trail has lots of steep ups and downs so it may not be the best choice if you have knee issues or mobility challenges. If you are looking for a fun route in a beautiful area that will get your heart rate going, this trail is definitely the one for you.
From the Slickrock Trail Parking Lot, follow the well-marked path north. 0.3mi up the trail, take a right at the fork to follow the loop counterclockwise. 1.2mi along the loop, the trail will divide—stay left to continue another 0.4mi back to the start.
Take a moment to catch your breath before following the trail back south down to the parking lot.
