Signature slickrock trails offer challenging, if fun rides for all levels of riders, marked by seemingly endless singletrack that shade each day. Moab, Utah’s Hottest New Trails. Even if you’ve never visited Moab (pop. 5000) before, you’ve very likely seen it. About 245-miles south of Salt Lake City, Moab and its dramatic surroundings served as the backdrop for countless Golden Era Westerns. Moab’s history is by turns rich as varied: From a Mormon outpost on the Spanish Trail (1800’s), to Wild-West era outlaw haunt or lair, to base for hard-rock miners and rare mineral prospectors.
For some, the Canyonlands of southern Utah bring to mind the last of the Old West and America’s frontier. For others, it speaks of the mystical lives of ancient civilizations long gone. The sun is on your back and snow-capped mountains rise in the distance. Welcome to Moab!
While the beauty that verges on hyperrealism of Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Parks has drawn nature-lovers for generations, it’s the land edging and surrounding the parks that has utterly redefined Moab, from erstwhile park lodging base to world-class adventure travel destination.
Moab has it all: from white-water rafting to horseback riding, phenomenal climbing routes to the five-diamond mountain biking. For as much, it was this incomparable grouping of big outdoor recreational opportunities and pursuits that compelled the first wave of adventurer-seekers to settle here and thus transform this delightful little city.
This 5-day tour is like a Moab’s Best Of/greatest hits album with some epic riding opportunities for mountain bikers of all skill sets. Off the bike, the tour has built-in side hikes. The latter lend intimate optics onto some of the area’s most astonishing natural features, as you view-find from characteristic natural arches to age-old petroglyphs. Invariably it’s not a stretch by any means to see a genuine dinosaur footprint out on one of the select trails.
This trip is a great introduction to the incredible riding found in the Moab area. The abundance of trails and the variety of terrain also make it a great choice for a private group looking to develop a custom itinerary. Please contact us for pricing and availability.
