From
$1,570 USD

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.

  • How long is the tour? How many days cycling?

    The tour is 5 days long with 5 days of cycling.

  • Can you tell me about the food on tour?

    Food is a big part of the experience. The guides prepare all of your meals on the camping trip. Expect three delicious meals a day consisting entirely of freshly prepared foods. These include fresh organic fruits and vegetables as well as meats. There will also be energy snacks aboard the support vehicles. Don’t be surprised if your guides purchase fresh fruits and healthy snacks throughout the day while you are out riding. They may just show up on the trail with a local treat!

    Many guests are vegans or vegetarians, whom the tour operator is more than happy to accommodate. If you have special diet requirements or limitations, just let us know when you sign-up and the tour operator will work with you to meet your needs.

  • Is there phone reception in the areas visited?

    Cell service for this tour is spotty. Verizon is the best service to have for this area.

  • Do I need to bring my own camping gear?

    Camping gear may be rented or you may bring your own. The tour operator's camp gear package includes a three-man tent with ground tarp, sleeping bag, bag liner, full size pillow, raised cot and self-inflating ground pad.

  • Are there any limits on what I should bring?

    Luggage is limited to one small soft-shelled suitcase or medium/large sized duffel bag (no heavier than 40 pounds). Please ensure your luggage container is water repellant. The tour operator also suggests bringing a hydration daypack or small backpack for valuables.

  • What's the weather like?

    You will be riding and sleeping at elevations over 4,000 ft. (1219m) for this trip. Weather predictions in this area are often unreliable due to the elevation, so it is best to be prepared for cold evenings and inclement weather.

  • How should I prepare for the trip?

    For optimal physical preparation, the tour operator recommends that you ride at least several hours per week during the month preceding the tour. During the tour, you will be on your bike every day, and they can assure you that an unprepared bottom is a sore one! If you can’t ride your bike or don’t own one, take a spin class at your local gym a few times a week.

Great trip with our outstanding guides Will and Kathi. They were excellent riders who adhered the our group of mountain bikers. We were able to do two challenging rides per day, and we ate great at every meal. Our group had some shredders and some riders who were less experienced, and the tour worked great for all of us!

I just completed the Best of Moab mtb camping trip with some friends. Our guides Will and Kate were outstanding. They laid out a challenging itinerary for the week while keeping us safe, comfortable, and well fed. They were very accommodating to our requests throughout the week while doing a great job of keeping us informed and entertained.
