Tabeguache Trail
The Tabeguache (pronounced TAB-a-watch) Trail is the third leg of the Grand Loop (with the Kokopelli trail and the Paradox Trail form the rest of the triangle.) The trail begins at the Shavano Valley aka Dry Creek Trailhead just outside Montrose CO and weaves through the canyons, mesas, and highlands of the Uncompahgre Plateau before ending in No Thoroughfare Canyon, a few miles west of Grand Junction at the Lunch Loop Trailhead. It runs 148 miles, climbing over 19,000 feet and descending over 20,000.
