A very fun, fast single track. Not the most technical, but still a very fun, well thought out track. Great for all levels of riding I think. This was just a very little bit of the 150 miles of track they have around there.
A truely awesome ride. Very fun single track. Not very technical (at least not the parts we explored)... a very long windy downhill section, not much climbing except a bit at the start. We made a wrong turn and got a little lost, it get's dark very fast in the desert, and we ended up having to hike the bikes back in the dark desert. This was the night of the meteor...
This is most of the RimView trail around page with a view of Lake Powell for parts of it. We made a wrong turn, the rest of the loop can be figured on my other track @Rest of Rim Trail@.This is actually a pretty fun single track mostly route on the rim of the plateu around the city. Some parts are quite narrow, and a wrong move might throw you over the...

6+ Miles of pure downhill... dirt and rocky bliss!.This was a trail that really taught me how to get myself back on the bike, and all about riding the brakes!

The end was less steep, but still fast downhill, longer...

This is probably the easiest trail near moab, really the begineer trail, and a good intro into moab riding. There are some steep little ups and downs, plenty of flat, minimal slickrock, some sandy wash areas, some mud, and some rocky sections. The trail is fairly easy, although it ends with kind of a long slow climb up hill... you can erase from your memory if you decide to take the highway...
This was my first day out in Moab, and not used to the elevation by any means... This might not have been my best choice for my first ride. It starts with a grueling long climb up.... beautiful, fun, scenic, but tough.. and I was not ready for it. I did not make it all the way up, I did not realize it was only another mile or less to finish the...
