This is the loop at the end of Templeton Trail that makes a Templeton/Baldwin lollipop ride if you start at the Bell Rock Pathway. This entry describes a direct access to make the Baldwin Loop a stand-alone ride. This allows you to avoid the rather steep descent and climb back up to the mesa from the river bottom.This loop is 2.25 miles in length and can be ridden in either direction, but most riders prefer to do it clockwise. This allows many of the steps and ledges to be done on the descent.There are two waypoints on the map that mark trail junctions. The NW waypoint marks the junction with Templeton Trail.

More Information
Add ResourceNever modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
