Mountain Bike

This trail is easy, it is an excellent one to introduce a newcomer to our sport and the riding found around Moab (I took my 11yr old son and he had a blast, he wants to keep going back to Moab which is fine by me). There are some slickrock sections to play on, even some small drops to keep from getting bored and the scenery is excellent with views into Archs National Park off to the east.

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
