Bartlett/Jedi Slickrock is a free-ride area open to mountain bikes (non-motorized). It's located on the north side of Bartlett Wash. This riding area is mostly smooth Entrada Sandstone. There are no marked trails in this area. Riders work their way up the slickrock ledges and bowls to reach the upper end of the slickrock where there are beautiful views and smooth bowls. Jedi Slickrock is the same smooth Entrada Sandstone but on the south side of the wash. Parking for both riding areas is in the designated parking area on the south side of the camping area. Ride the dirt road for less than a mile to either area.

Getting there
