Mary's Trail

This post covers the first day of our second annual fall break trip to Moab. The date was 27 October 2013. This year, as last, we stopped in Grand Junction for a visit with our Western Slope family and rode one trail in Fruita before heading further west to Moab for the remainder of the trip.

We rode Mary's Trail out to Pizza Point, and then rode back. The weather was perfect, and although the trailhead parking lot seemed packed, the trail was not at all crowded.  Click here for the Garmin log.

The view of the Colorado River from Pizza Point was outstanding, with later afternoon sunlight hitting the bright yellow leaves on the cottonwood trees along the river. So why do they call it Pizza Point when there's no pizza there?


The trail runs just a little too close to the edge of bluffs in a few places.
