Baby Steps to Klondike or visa versa: Baby Steps is a dirt and rock singletrack trail. Great to climb if you like more technical climbs, makes the climb to the top of Klondike more fun and challenging. At the top of Klondike you can do a short hike to the edge of the bluffs. Beautiful views, also check out the dinosaur tracks near the beginning of Klondike - intermediate level ride.
Sovereign Trail Network: Sovereign Trail Singeltrack, Saltwash Singletrack & Garden Mesa. This area has many options, you can ride this trail several times and ride something new each time. Pick up a map created by the developers of this trail - Ride With Respect. This map is very helpful in navigating this trail network - intermediate level riding.
Fisher Mesa Singletrack: A very fun, tight, twisty singletrack at 8,000 ft. with scenery of the Fisher Valley, approximately 30 minute drive from Moab near Castle Valley- intermediate ride.
Hidden Canyon: North of Bartlett Wash, this short ride will take you over Hidden Canyon to get some great pictures, while riding of some open areas of slickrock.
Jackson Hole Loop: A super technical ride all the way around. This trail includes a Hike-A-Bike that will eventually get you to the top of Amasa Back. The trails included in this ride are: Hurrah Pass, Jackson Hole, Jacobs Ladder, and Amasa Back. If you’re in for an adventure and pushing yourself to limits, this trail just might be the one for you.
Amasa Back to Jackson Trail Singletrack: A technical, exposed, but awesome option to doing the Amasa Back trail. Afrer the pipeline to your right you will see the beginning of this trail. Once on this trail your adrenaline starts to rush and you are in for the time of your life. If you do not do well with exposure to cliffs I would not recommend this trail for you. The loose dirt and the challenging ups and downs make this ride hard, but fun all at the same time. CAUTION: Trail does have drops and dangerous switch backing throughout the whole trail.
Moab Brands Trails: 5 trails create this great area for riders who are beginner to intermediate as well as families. Bar-M-Loop is the easiest trail. A great family ride that makes a 7 mile loop near the western boundary of Arches N.P (north of Moab - 9 miles). A fairly flat jeep road that hooks to several other trails that are part of the Moab Brands Trail network. Circle O is more challenging, all slickrock and all fun. If Bar M is too easy for you this is a good step up from that. Next is Rockin’ A, a flowy but rocky singletrack that is fun as long as you ride it counter clockwise, clockwise makes the trail a bit rougher. Bar B is an intermediate loop with tight, dirt singletrack with some fun technical moves along the way. This trail network is best ridden counter clockwise.
Burro Pass Down: (also known as the Whole Enchilada) The best ride in Moab and definitely in the top 5 in the U.S. Make sure you have lots of time, food, water, and energy. This ride will take it out of you, but it is so worth it. You descend over 7000 ft. in approximately 32 miles. This ride combines 7 trails to make for an epic ride! Amazing views, technical, roots, rocks, creek crossings, fast flowing singeltrack, ledgy drops and 4 separate eco-systems. If you are an avid rider and would consider yourself at least at an intermediate riding level then this is a must do. Snow and weather dependent, this ride is usually completely open from late April through late September and sometimes even into late October.
