The White Mesa Trail was created for mountain bikers, but hikers and runners are also welcome to enjoy these trails. It is advised for hikers to stay alert for approaching bikers. The rocks here are colorful and great for photos. The east area of the valley is made of red-brown Triassic period rocks, and the rimrock above is made of gray-white Jurassic period gypsum stones. The western section of this valley has tilted layers of sandstone and mudstone.
