Down Uppity Trail

About

The Down Uppity Trail is a 1.6-mile moderate hike in Fruita, Colorado, situated near the Chutes & Ladders trail system. The route begins by following signs to the Vegetarian Loop, then branches left onto a skinny singletrack that winds through a cow pasture. The terrain features washes and small lumpy up-and-down sections. Several segments have steep dropoffs, and the trail is narrower than typical local paths, requiring caution. Parking is available at the trailhead. The trail is accessible year-round, though some sources indicate a primary season from April to October for mountain biking. The trail is multi-use, so hikers should share the path with mountain bikers.
