Along the way, riders encounter famous segments such as Burro Pass, Hazard County, Kokopelli, UPS, LPS, and Porcupine Rim, each presenting its own unique challenges and rewards. The route tests both skill and endurance, weaving through natural features that demand careful navigation and technical expertise, making it an unforgettable adventure for those who are prepared. After completing the descent, riders follow a paved path that guides them safely back to the shuttle area, offering a moment to recover and reflect on the incredible journey they have just experienced.
