Climbing and descending over 500 feet, Verde Loop offers stunning views of the Book Cliffs and the foothills of the San Rafael Swell. On the northeastern edge of The Swell, the trail twists its way up and around rolling hills, with mild challenges for stock-type 4x4s. The trail is a mix of dirt and short, bumpy rock sections. A couple of deep washout obstacles require suspension flex for traction. While no established campsites were found along the route, the ease of access, scenery, ground conditions, and privacy are motivators to create a temporary site along the trail for the night. The trail is impassable in wet conditions.
