Winding through the McCoy Flats is a well-known trail called the Butch Cassidy Loop, part of the grandeur Outlaw Trail System. Enjoyed by ATVs, side-by-sides, and full-size OHVs, it is far from a peaceful stroll away from it all. The 16E loop is a short, optional addition to the full Butch Cassidy Loop, providing a tight S-turn through massive boulders and a narrow fin climb with expansive views. Although mildly intimidating, a stock, 4WD high-clearance vehicle should be able to complete this short loop. However, long wheelbase or full-width vehicles may need to bypass the tight S-turn. The climb up the fin is not optional, but with a slow, steady pace and 4-low, it is hardly a daunting challenge.
The trail traverses through BLM land, but camping is non-existent along this short 1.5-mile loop. Plenty of options lie right along McCoy Flats Road and its many spurs. A campground is also currently in the works for the McCoy Flats trailhead.
