Bangs Canyon - Intermediate, Windmill Loop

20 mile multi-terrain full-width loop through Windmill 4x4 and Bangs Canyon 4x4, with views of the town from high up and fun low consequence obstacles.

This 20 mile loop is located in the rocky high desert just south-west of Grand Junction, off of Little Park Road. The loop begins at the Bangs Canyon Trailhead. It starts with Billings Canyon access road, followed by Third Flats/Windmill Loop, Tabeguache trail and Bangs Canyon trail. Some sections are fun, flowing hard-pack and mild sand with other areas being rocky ledges, stair steps and loose rocks.

Riders for this trail should possess strong intermediate skills and reasonable riding endurance/fitness. Bikes should be well maintained dirt bikes/dual sports with aggressive tires and good suspension. There will be scheduled rest stops to take in the scenic views and have a snack. The time on trail will be approximately 4 hours.
