Summary:
Schumann's is a blast. It's got a lot of tight technical sections through the Aspens, but also a few faster flowy sections near the top. The only drawback is that there's a good chance you'll be riding through cow sh*t at some point. This is true of all the trails in the La Sals, so I guess you just have to get used to it.
If you want to just do Schumann's you can park right near where the trail hits Oowah Lake Rd. Ride up the road, almost to the lake. Before you get to the lake you'll see a trail taking off to the left. This is a steep climb that will almost surely require some hiking. When you get to the Y go left to drop immediately into Schumann's or go right to see Warner lake. Follow the directions given above to get to the start of the trail.

Recommended Route:
If you're looking for a longer ride, consider the Burro Pass loop. Park at the bottom of the Oowah Lake Rd. Ride south on the La Sal loop road (pavement), going up the big hill until you see Geyser Pass Rd. taking off to the left at the top of the hill. Ride up Geyser Pass all the way to the top. Go left at the first fork, then right just after at the second fork. You'll descend down the back side about a mile, looking for the road to Burro Pass on your left. Climb up to the top of Burro. Enjoy the view, then strap in for an awesome descent. The trail switchbacks down the steep headwall of the canyon, then flys down through some open meadows. You cross a stream a couple of time. When you hit the intersection with another trail, go left (downhill). You cross the creek a couple more times, then look for a short climb heading up to the right. This takes you to Werner Lake where you can hook up with Schumann's. This loop is about 4K of elevation gain/loss.

Summary:
I love this trail. It tests me every time I ride it. Been riding this one for ~10 yrs. now. Read the trail discript. It says all

Recommended Route:
There are several loops that can be done from either Warner Lake or Oowah Lake. Always some hike-a-biking envolved. Well worth that! Moonlight Meadows can be hooked into this as well as Burro Pass...all trails lead to SCHUMAN's.
