The Bisset Trail starts at the end of Bisset Court street at the top of the canyone. This is a good alternate place to park and ride into the canyonlands trails. There is good trail signage.

The trail starts off as an easy gravel path, but BE CAREFUL... because as the trail transitions over the edge of the canyon it becomes a definite black diamond trail with a couple big rock drops and narrow room for error. The top half of this trail from Bisset Court street to the edge of the canyon is highly used and easy, but the lower half is seldom ridden or hiked as its too sketchy for most folks. If you are going to try and ride it down into the canyon... walk it first and think about your line choices. Ride smart on this one. The end of the trail connects you with the Confluence Trail and Pond Trail North.
