My Top 5 Mountain Biking Trails in Moab
Moab is the Mecca to which all mountain biker should make a pilgrimage to at least once in their life. It is a unique place on earth, and it is a mountain bikers dream come true.
The Top 5 of Moab
When you go, you have to do at least 5 rides. Below are listed the my top Moab mountain bike trails:
1. Porcupine Rim - Moab's premiere downhill. Moderate climb to the Rim, then a long technical descent. Suitable for DH bikes, can be handled with a hardtail. Cliff-side exposure. Advanced technical. Season March through November.
2. Slick Rock - World's most famous bike trail, one mile east of Moab on Navajo sandstone. Practice Loop for new riders. Advanced technical, strenuous with moderate long climbs and some short brute climbs. Season late February through November.
3. Amasa Back - Climb from Kane Creek west of Moab onto sandstone overlooking the Colorado. Plenty of slickrock areas, ledges and play opportunities. Moderate climb, advanced technical. Season March through November.
4. Poison Spider - Climb from the Colorado onto the Navajo sandstone mesa northwest of Moab. Significant climb, advanced technical. Connects to the Portal Trail and Gold Bar. Season February through November.
5. White Rim Trail - 4-wheel drive road through Canyonlands National Park forms a 100-mile loop for multi-day rides. Hammerheads do a brutal one-day version. Permit required to camp. Significant climbing, easier technical. Year-round.
