There are many ways to ride this loop which make it very fun. Don't be fooled by the mileage. This is a burly ride with steep, loose climbs and fast rocky descents. This loop can be ridden in either direction. Both trails are very challenging climbs aerobically. Both downhills are fast with rock gardens. If you are looking for a easier climb up to the Ramparts consider taking the more gradual Coyote Park Trail up to FS 329 to access the Rampart Hills from the top.
From the junction of FS529 and CR44:
Head north on FS529 for 2 miles until you see the trail entrance on the right. This will take you uphill to the top of the Ramparts.
From the T Down Corral at the intersection of FS331 and FS566:
Follow dirt road heading straight past this intersection until you reach a turnaround. There is a Rampart Trail trailhead/sign on the north side of the turnaround that will take you downhill.
