Rabbit Valley Doubletrack

About

The Rabbit Valley Doubletrack is a 1.2-mile hiking trail near Fruita, Colorado, situated in the pinyon-juniper desert landscape of the Moore Canyon Area along the Colorado River. The route begins on the Kokopelli Trail and descends into the valley via a rugged doubletrack that serves as an access road for the Rabbit Valley 8 loop and the Rabbit Valley #4/8/3 Rim Loop. The trail is classified as difficult due to the rough terrain and elevation changes, requiring moderate to high physical fitness. The total elevation gain is listed at 4,890 feet, though specific elevation gain metrics vary by source. The trail is open year-round and typically takes about one hour to complete. A key feature is the viewpoint at the southern terminus, just south of the Rabbit Valley 8 intersection, which offers views of the Black Rocks. Parking is available at the trailhead. The trail is multi-use and can be hiked in either direction.
