Just got back from Fruita last night. What a great place! CUBUCK and I stayed at Highline SP off exit 15 on 70. The park is great. There were a handful of other mtb'ers there, a lake, showers, bbq pits and really nice sites. It is a place we are sure to use as a base the next time we hit Fruita.
As for the riding, Fruita is awesome. We rode the Mary's Loop area and covered about 20 miles before the heat set in and our water ran out. We started on Marys, rode Horsetheif, Troy, Mack Ridge and then back on Moore Fun. The trails out there are awesome, all single track, except parts of Mary's and no other bikers in site. There were some nice technical lines on a few of the trails too. The views offered from the trails were also stunning. Fruita definitely gives Moab a run for its money. Once the fall gets here we are going back for a two day tour for sure.
