The Ribbon
1,600 feet of slickrock slab descending off the Uncompahgre Plateau, the GJ tech headliner, separate system from Lunch Loops.
Trail beta
Park along Little Park Road and pedal up: most people do it this way, the climb isn't bad. Huge rock slabs, committed lines, very high speeds possible. Session features before you send them blind. 1,600 ft descent over slickrock benches; line choice is everything. Drops and exposure throughout.
When to go
Rideable year-round on dry days. Prime in shoulder seasons (March-May and September-November). Exposed sandstone slabs. Don't ride when wet. Close to Lunch Loops but a separate network.
Shuttle
Most riders park along Little Park Road and pedal up to the top. It's not a bad climb. Self-shuttle is an option if you want to session laps.
Self-shuttle
You can drive higher up Little Park Road to shorten the climb or session laps, but the pedal up is pretty manageable.
