Best of Moab Mountain Bike

Itinerary Details

1. Day 1Klondike Bluffs/ Sovereign

   You’ll begin the tour with a true Moab classic, the Klondike Bluff trail. During the ride, you’ll pass imprints of three-toed dinosaurs that tramped across mudflats and river bottoms about 170 million years ago.

   At the turn around point, you’ll hike across the trail’s namesake bluffs, which erode to bonnets and elephant toes atop fractured fins and alcoves. Features of Arches National Park can be seen in the distance, backed by the scenic La Sal Mountains. Other options of single-track side spurs line the ride on the Sovereign Trails!

2. Day 2Brand Trails/Mag 7 Trails

   Today you will ride some of Moab's best single-track and slickrock! The Moab Brand trails offer 31 miles in which beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders can enjoy a wide variety of challenges. Many of the trails offer outstanding views of Arches National Park. The possibilities are nearly endless.

   After a half-day on the trails, you will shuttle just up the hill to the Gemini Bridges area and Mag 7 trail system. You will break for lunch before all new trails, which are almost all single-track. Stunning views and epic riding consume the remainder of your day with up to 27 miles more of riding!

3. Day 3Porcupine Rim/ Kokopelli's Trail

   Today's adventure takes you on the Kokopelli Trail. Depending on snow levels and current conditions will dictate which of the 2 options you will tackle.

   Option 1: A 45 minute shuttle takes you up the Sand Flats Road where you’ll have the option on either the UPS or LPS trail (Porcupine Single-track). This trail is a great adventure on some world-class single-track! After either or both of these sections, descend for fourteen miles on incredible Porcupine single-track down to the Colorado River. This trail is more technical than other rides, but is well worth the extra effort!

   Option 2: You’ll stop at Polar Mesa to see real dinosaur tracks that “walk” off the edge of a cliff! Your 4,000-foot descent starts as you ride through Thompson Canyon on large slabs of slickrock. After about 12 miles, you’ll climb Kneeknocker Hill (the name says it all!) to the lunch stop. After lunch, you will descend Onion Creek, the most scenic section of the trail. Be prepared to get a little wet—you’ll be crossing the creek numerous times as you ride through the huge red cliffs cut by the creek.
