About This Trail

Imported description

This is an advanced loop in the Cowboy Trail system. From the beginning, climb up Bunny, Fossil Canyon, and then take 3 Amigos to Bomb Voyage for the final descent. Don't take your eyes off the trail too long, the rocks are sharp. Take the first or second finger to extend the ride, or take the second finger to the top for a great view of Vegas. It is a good idea to be prepared for poor cell phone reception and few users.
