Rimview Trail

Eleven of the smoothest miles of singletrack in the area! I can''t believe this trail isn''t already listed here. The loop works it''s way around a sandstone rim, yielding views of Lake Powell, Navajo Mountain, and my personal favorite, the Navajo Power Plant. The trail is 95% singletrack, 5% slickrock, with ample opportunity for slickrock exploration down towards the lake. I began the trail at the McDonalds parking lot, and headed clockwise. I recommend clockwise travel if for no other reason than it seems to provide better views. The trail is mostly hardpack, with a few short, sandy sections and a couple easy rock stairsteps. There is very little technical or aerobic difficulty encountered, so even beginners will enjoy this one. Intermediate/advanced riders who enjoy fast, smooth singletrack will have a blast, but don''t expect much challenge. Navigation was fairly straightforward... there''s lots of trail signs, though some intersections are unmarked. A little exploring/backtracking should get you back on track.
I started from the back of the McDonalds parking lot, but I don't think they want to be used as trailhead parking. This trail is easily rideable from most all of Page. If you do need to drive to the trailhead, I heard there's one at the north end of N. Navajo Rd.
Summary: mostly single track. Goes around the whole town of Page, Az. Fun to ride. Mostly hardpack or loose over hardpack, some sand. I have heard that it's about 10 or more miles around the whole thing. It took me about 2 hours to cover the loop, I'm not the fastest rider, if you take your time it takes about 2 and 1/2 hours. It also goes right by the McDonalds, so if you plan on stopping for lunch bring money.
P.S. The Page school children do not maintain this trail. I should know because I am one of them.
Recommended Route: I went clockwise, but it doesn't matter which way you go, either way you go, the end is going to be uphill. Take more than a bottle of water with you though, I only took one and was thirsty for a while.
Other recommended trails in the same area: If you know how to ride through sand really well you can ride some of the four wheeling trails.

Summary: Thought I'd add that this trail is maintained by local schoolchildren... how sweet is that! I'd consider giving this trail 5 stars if it didn't have such an "urban" feel to it... you have to cross a couple big roads near the end of the loop (if you're going clockwise) and the trail works around the edge of a golf course for a bit too. Otherwise, it's great.
