Rooster Trail is a 1.5-mile mountain biking route in the Pine Valley Ranger District of Dixie National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is an out-and-back with a total climb of about 418 feet, and the route reaches a high point of 5,481 feet from a low of 5,056 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Veyo Powerhouse show May highs around 75°F and October highs around 71°F, while July averages about 92°F and January highs sit near 48°F. That station sits roughly 900 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Just My Pinyon Trail starts about 0.1 mile away, and the High Plains Drifter Trail and Get It Together Trail are both within a mile for hikers. Climbers can head to Cottonwood Springs Bouldering, about 3.4 miles off.
