HIGH DESERT TRAIL SYSTEM 1st Mesa the ups: It is my understanding that the new trail head location for Gamerco will be near the Kent Hodges Memorial Bench (don’t quote me). That means this is how you will get to those famous colorful flags and make the choice to ride onto Second Mesa or enjoy the shortest of the three loops and tackle First Mesa. This loop is an up down, counterclockwise a little heavier up. the downs: Like I mentioned, this is a climb up and a ride back down loop. The counterclockwise direction gives you a quicker up and lets you enjoy a longer downhill ride. You can really pick up the pace on the downhill and it even has a section that if you are looking for some air it delivers nicely. Both the Third and Second Mesas offer about a 6-mile loop, not the case with the fast moving First Mesa that delivers about two miles of mountain bike fun.
