You can access the trail from the shop via the local bike path and avoid the busy traffic encountered on Moab’s Main Street. We have a free map you can pick up at the shop.
The Whole Enchilada
Locals favorite! This trail network is world renowned and when ridden in its entirety is an epic 33 mile ride starting at 11,200 feet in our beautiful La Sal mountain range descending to 4,000 feet at the Colorado river. (The ‘whole’ Whole Enchilada is seasonal and weather dependent). Depending upon where you are getting shuttled to it’s 21 to 33 miles from trail head drop off point back to town. As the season progresses and the snow melts the shuttle drop off rises. This trail is a mix of technical terrain including rock ledges, sandstone, dirt and awesomeness.
Amasa Back Trail
This is another local favorite and a fantastic ride year round! You can ride to this area from the shop(add 9 miles). Prepare for absolutely amazing views, a mixture of slickrock and dirt, with plenty of ledges and technical terrain. There are a multitude of ways to ride this area, please stop in and get the run down from our staff at the shop. When riding Jacksons you will need to get a trail update, sometimes the exit is flooded from the Colorado river.
Magnificent 7
This is a fantastic Intermediate/Advanced trail network. You can ride it as a shuttle or a loop and it can be moderate to extremely challenging depending upon which trails you choose to ride. Most riders take a shuttle to the top of Gemini Bridges Road and ride Bull Run, to Great Escape, to Little Canyon and exit out Gemini Bridges Road ending at the Moab Brands trail area. You can also choose the super tech version and continue the ride from Little Canyon up Gold Bar Singletrack for Advanced moves and double the ride length. This advanced route will end on the infamous Portal Trail an extremely technical downhill trail which begins with extreme exposure (walk your bike! … seriously, walk your bike) and ends with super rugged downhill. The Portal Trail ends on the Potash Road (Hwy 279) where you will hopefully have a vehicle stashed because you are going to be tired!
Bartlett Wash and Jedi Slickrock
An amazing play area of sandstone north of town. This is Moab’s best freeride area. There isn’t a set route and you can just ride where you like on the vast sand stone. The Barlett area is fine for Intermediate to Advanced riders. There are few famous areas known as the Mushroom Drop (very large drop feature), the Super Bowl (huge wall ride area), and the Toilet bowl (steep shoot). Bring your camera to show your friends how rad you are!
Captain Ahab - Lower
One of the most popular sections of trails in Moab, the lower descent of Ahab is held in very high regard by anyone who rides it. Stunning views and top shelf trail features and vibe.
Gold Bar Rim
Gold Bar is a good way to exit the Mag 7 area if you are up for a long day and some extra miles of rim top riding. Connect into the Portal for the double black exit to the ride.
Portal
The portal is exposed, steep, and very hard riding, but also a Moab classic with superb views, and a great exit option to the Mag 7, Gold Bar rim ride. Not for the faint of heart.
Moonlight Meadows
This trail offers alpine meadow views and classic narrow singletrack descents through smooth and chunky trails. The trail starts off kinda flat and through a meadow then starts to drop sending you through aspens groves and back out into lush meadows. Excellent summertime ride when the desert is hot.
Clark lake
This is great section of trail, with some really technical rocky sections. Most of the trail is deep through the trees with lots of wild flowers and rooty sections in the aspens. Excellent summertime ride when the desert is hot.
Shuman Gulch
Shuman Gulch is a 2 mile moderately popular black diamond singletrack trail located near Moab Utah. This mountain bike primary trail can be used downhill primary. Excellent summertime ride when the desert is hot.
Intermediate Trails
Raptor Route
Moab’s newest singletrack provides an alternate route from Porcupine Rim. 3 trails link up to provide some of the area’s best views, longest downhills and amazing desert flow. The trail is 10 miles long with 2,500 feet of descending, this mostly blue trail weaves through Juniper pinyon forest, rocky landscapes and edges of deep Utah canyons. Don’t be fooled by the blue rating; this trail will keep you on your toes the entire time. Several difficult features are found throughout this ride. It can be either ridden as a loop, using the road to climb. It can also be shuttled yourself or with Coyote Shuttles when they are running. This is a great option if you are looking for a flowy alternate route down from the Whole Enchilada.

It can be ridden as an out and back or make it a big loop by including Hidden Valley to Moab Rim back to town. It makes a fantastic second ride of the day.
Flat Pass
Not Flat… This is a great intermediate ride when it is hot because it has several creek crossings. It has a secluded feel and wonderful views of the mountains and Moab Rim. It is on a shared technical jeep route and is primarily rocky ledges and dirt.
Monitor Merrimac
Check out the amazing dino tracks when you ride this area. The route is loose and not well marked, so keep your landmarks in site to get back to the beginning. Ride across Uranium Arch if you can find it! There is a lot of fun flowy slickrock terrain, some dirt and ledges on the east side up to and along the cliff edge. On the west side around the back there are even dino bones that you can check out! Amazing!!!
