I can't remember who it was, but someone in another post asked to see pics of some of the trails around the Fruita area, so I took some! All are from my cell phone, but I think you'll definitely get the idea...
From Mary's Loop:
From Rustler's loop:
From the 28 Road trails, I think this was part of the Edge loop???
Prime Cut trail:
Kessels Run:
Another "local resident":
This one is kind of a bummer..you can't ride down in here anymore, it's foot/equestrian traffic only...but it gives you a good idea of what the majority of the scenery is in the area:
Exactly the same as Northern California in the early 1980s.
I hate to see any area closed to mountain biking, but there is one positive to the Devil's Canyon/Pollock Bench area being a open to only hikers and horses. It diverts a fair amount of horse traffic away from all the other great singletrack, keeping damage from horses and mtb vs. equestrian conflict to a minimum. That is not to say that you won't see horses on trail, but at least for me it has been seldom.
Uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay. Um Can you repeat the part of the stuff where you said all about uuhhh, things. Uhh... the things.
what would be a good xc scenic trail for an Okie? i will be there this weekend through Tuesday.
You might start off with Rustlers or Mary's in Loma. If thats not "XC" enough someone else may have better suggestions than me (I'm only just back into the sport and have only done a limited number of trails).
Or do you want to get up into the mountains out of the heat and hit that kind of stuff (trees, shade...) If so, there are many choices on the Grand Mesa or Uncompahgre Plateau. But you have to drive a little.
Cutthroat, I assume that overlook must be on Andy's or Ribbon? I rode Andy's like 12 years ago, but don't remember it too well.
The first shot is off Steve's Loop - the second shot is off Miramonte, it's a steep connector back down to the main Tabeguache trail. As you ride up towards Widowmaker it comes down the weird sketchy ash heap of a hill on your left. I don't know if it has a name (that's not me getting the air by the way).

Gotcha. I misread it... you said "and another from lunch loops" I thought you were saying the overlook was lunch loops. Maybe the river should have clued me in
