The Tabeguache

The best of Bangs Canyon Recreation Area can be found in this recently opened trail

The best of the Bangs Canyon Recreation Area can be found in this recently opened trail. It has a mix of everything, from high plateaus to narrow canyon shelf roads to a playground where you can test your vehicle’s limits. The scenery gets more beautiful the further you drive on this trail. Trail was opened with the help of Grand Junction Four-Wheelers.

Difficult. Most of the southern part is easy to marginally moderate terrain. After Wpt. 02, trail gets more difficult with loose rock climbs and small challenging ledges. Hardest part between Wpt. 03 and 04 have driver’s choices, but they were all similarly difficult when we drove it. Very high ground clearance is needed. Playground is optional. Do not attempt the trail when wet.
