Overview

Mack Ridge Road, near Fruita, CO, is part of a group of trails, including the much underappreciated Lion's Loop 4x4 trail. This mild trail takes you to incredible views of Horsethief Canyon and the Colorado River without any scary shelf roads to worry about. Once you reach the top, you'll see stunning red rock canyons, people boating on the river, and likely area wildlife. Look for bighorn sheep, blue herons, and even bald eagles. If you're looking for a peaceful drive with beautiful sights, Mack Ridge Road is the place to go.
