Summary:
I stayed in GJ for 3 months for studying and I rode the Lunch Loop about a milion times and that should say everything. There is such a wide variety of real fun downhill singletrails and the uphill is simply a legend. Allthough I never really suceeded in riding the widowmaker - and never saw anybody riding it - I enjoyed the constant technical challenge of the double track. The views and technical sections of the downhill are among the best I know and I tried a lot of singeltrails in the Colorado/Utah area. Definitely 5 stars if you know the best trails to go down again. Definitely not for beginners.

Recommended Route:
Grd.Jct.-Widowmaker-EagleOutlook-Grd.Jct.

Summary:
This is a really fun route because you climb the dirt road but come down on the single track. Lot's of rock transitions and is a general kick. It can get so hot in the summer and snowed in last winter. I was out in 100 degree's. INSANE! The crowd has been cool so far just respect the walkers and puppys that roam free.

Recommended Route:
Start at Tabuguache Tralhead and go up the dirt road till the bottom of Widowmaker hill which you will know when you get to it. Instead veer right and continue up single track up to a small saddle. Take a safty break and then go down the trail nearest west.

Summary:
just go uphill until yoiu don't feel like it anymore, and take one of the little cross-trails and go down. If you get lost, all you have to remember is that uphill takes you away from the parking lot and downhill will take you back.

Recommended Route:
I'm not sure if this is really part of Lunch Loop, but it's really fun. Start at the trailhead, and go on the leftroute if you want the easier ride. Gor right if you want a REALLY teachnical uphill ride.

Pollock Bench Loop, Mary's and Lion's loops
