After passing the staging area & kiosks on your right, take the first left turn. Follow the Rabbit’s Ear Mesa signs. Take the gravel road parallel to I-70 approximately 4.5 miles east to the Rabbit's Ear trailhead. (Note: No restroom at the trailhead.)

A springtime hike to the top of Rabbit’s Ear Mesa, where we’ll have spectacular 360° views of the Bookcliffs, Grand Mesa, the La Sals and the canyons of the Colorado River. The trail climbs to the mesa top then flattens out. We’ll stop for lunch among the junipers overlooking the River before completing the loop on the arid north side.
