    Formerly known as the Druid Stones Trail, the Waganobe Trail has been renamed by the local Paiute Tribe. This challenging downhill trail can be reached a few different ways, but for folks looking for a very full day you can climb the Coyote Valley Road (7S10) with a 4,500-foot elevation gain. Alternatively, you can shuttle cars and complete a shorter 2,600-foot climb up Habegger Road to about 11,000 feet that offers stunning views and fun descents on dirt roads leading to the singletrack portion. The start of the Waganobe Trail is about half a mile south of where Coyote Valley Road (7S10) crosses the West Fork of Coyote Creek. After taking the Coyote Flat Connector to the Waganobe Trail, and after a brief climb, you descend along a doubletrack, and complete another climb. The road then transitions into a steep, overgrown singletrack that opens into a meadow. Cross the meadow and find the trail in a stand of aspen trees until you reach a road, turning right to an open meadow. From here, a faint trail heads east through sagebrush. Watch your pedals in this section. Eventually, a left-hand turn across a creek appears. If missed (which is easy to do), the trail dead-ends shortly after anyway, s you can just backtrack to find the faint path up the hill on your right. This segment is technical if overgrown. As the brush clears, the trail becomes loose, but still super fun. The descent includes a few short, steep climbs, leading to a saddle where another trail splits left. Continuing straight, the landscape changes to open desert with large boulders and you'll eventually encounter plenty of hikers (so be respectful) as the trail becomes increasingly steep and technical over rocks. You continue the steep descent until you reach the trailhead.
