Recommended Users: Mountain Bikers, Hikers. Route. 4 miles in length. Difficulty: Moderate/Easiest. Cove Wash West Trail heads west once it drops into Cove Wash from the Cove Wash Trailhead. The trail is actually a route through the gravel wash bottom. Despite its unimproved nature, the gravel wash provides a firm surface for mountain biking. Currently the trail leads out to edge of a mesa rim. In the future this trail will link to the Stucki Springs Trail in the Bearclaw-Poppy Trail System.
