About
Eagle's Tail is a 1.12-mile hiking trail in the Tabeguache Lunch Loop Trail System on BLM land in Grand Junction, Colorado. The trail begins near the end of Monument Road, accessible from the parking lot alongside the bike park. Hikers head right at the trailhead, then take a right at the Eagle's Tail/Pet-e-kes junction into the wash. The route climbs over rocky terrain to reach a ridge, offering views of parallel trails. The trail connects with Eagle's Wing and Andy's Loop. Sources vary on difficulty, listing it as difficult due to steep incline and technical rockwork, or easy due to gentle ground surface. The trail is open year-round. Parking is available at the start.
