Whole Enchilada Trail
The Whole Enchilada Trail is primarily a mountain bike trail, although it is open to other non-motorized use as well. This trail combines a series of Forest Service and BLM trails to create a primarily downhill, singletrack trail from Burro Pass high in the La Sals to the Colorado River and back to Moab. The following Forest Service trails are traveled in combination to complete the Whole Enchilada: Burro Pass Trail #315, Warner Lake/Beaver Basin #033, Hazard County #650, Forest Road #634 (Kokopelli’s) and UPS #973. The UPS trail connects to the BLM’s LPS and Porcupine Trails which continue to Whole Enchilada towards the Colorado River. This trail is approximately 35 miles long and drops approximately 7,000 feet. This popular trail sees use by multiple different types of users, primarily, hikers, mountain bikers and equestrian users. Please respect one another and observe standard trail etiquette: mountain bikers yield to both hikers and equestrian users and hikers yield to equestrian users. The highest elevation portions (Burro Pass area) of this trail are often closed due to snow and wet, muddy conditions until July.
Elevation Change: 7,000 feet from the La Sals to the Colorado River.
