Best Intermediate MTB in Fruita, CO - Mary's, Horsethief Bench and Wrangler

These three intermediate trails offer scenic and sweeping views of the Colorado River. Ride out along Mary's then drop down onto the single track on the Bench and experience fast-flowy riding with several tricky, technical obstacles. The south side of the bench provides you with incredible red-rock views rising above the Colorado River. Mary's starts out as a very easy, scenic singletrack then half way, transitions into an intermediate trail along the rim where you will also encounter short but steep climbs, and hand-build rock obstacles. Then finish off with a ripping, flowy descent down Wrangler to your parking lot.

Yes it’s a pretty good trail, but the Fruita/Grand Junction region has a number of great trails…well worth an extended visit! Thanks for watching!

I sure missed out on some much better riding when I was there last year. Horsethief Bench has a real nice ring to it. Pretty sure I will end up walking the Horsethief Drop to get onto the Bench though. I ride a cross-country bike with 100mm travel, oh yeah, the skill-set also. Thanks Ron, I like your presentation. You hold your own on all different level of riding. What kind of bike you ride?

I have ridden the Bench three times but always walked the Drop, it might be a triple black or semi pro line. There are multiple lines but they all have serious consequences. I ride the first few feet of the trail but always bail out before it gets rough. There is so much great riding in the Kokopelli region that there are still a couple trails I need to explore. I ride a Giant Reign with 29” wheels with 170mm travel and an enduro geometry. So it’s great for steep gnarly descents. That’s more my thing, I can’t do jumps or gaps very well. Thanks for watching!!
