Trail Overview
Cliff Hanger, as the name indicates, winds up and around high jagged cliffs, providing plenty of difficult obstacles along the way. Beginning with a challenging descent from the Kane Creeek road to the creek bottom, the route continues out of the canyon over steep ledges offering breathtaking views into Jackson Hole. The final reward is a jaw-dropping overlook above the Colorado river. The backdrop is phenomenal, and mountain bikers often ride in this area as well. Be courteous and careful. Helmets recommended.

Difficulty
Difficult. Strictly hard-core. No stock SUVs. Huge ledge along cliff edge at 2.6 miles is not for the faint of heart. At Wpt. 03, if you're not careful, it is easy to slide sideways and roll over.
