Day 1
Depart Salt Lake City 5PM...We start this fantastic trip by picking up
you and your fellow Adventurers in Salt Lake City. We'll prep you
for your adventure and then enjoy a comfortable journey to our first
destination... |
 |
Day 2
Thunder Mountain... Perhaps the most picturesque singletrack in
the country, Thunder Mountain is unforgettable! Located on a high
plateau, this trail winds through red rock sandstone spires called
hoodoos. End the day with a cook out and campfire under the starry
sky.
|
 |
Day 3
Gooseberry Mesa... This great trail (with Zion National Park
as a backdrop) with its technical twists and sand stone sectors is
said to rival Slickrock Trail, and has been touted as the best trail
in Southern Utah...decide for yourself! Here’s your introduction to
the unique terrain, called slickrock. Actually, slickrock is not
slick at all. To the eye, it appears to be slick sculpted sandstone,
but its surface is like coarse sandpaper. It's the stickiest thing
your tires will ever touch!
|
 |
Day 4
Grand Canyon North Rim... Wake to the sunrise at the North Rim,
then hike, bike, or take an optional mule ride down into this
'erosion gone wild'! Or lazily enjoy breathtaking views while
strolling along the rim of this vast canyon. |
 |
Day 5
Monument Valley... Wake to yet another incredible sunrise! This
time, among the famous mesas and buttes of Monument Valley. Take a
well deserved day off from biking and enjoy a Navajo guided jeep
tour ($20) to view the monuments up close. Have lunch at a Navajo
trading post and continue on to Moab, where we will take a dip in a
secret swim hole! Later, we’ll stroll into town for dinner at the
one and only, Eddie McStiff’s! |
 |
Day 6
Moab's Slickrock Trail... The Greek Deities had Olympus, and the
gods of mountain biking must surely dwell here. Twelve miles of
uninterrupted sticky sandstone waves for your fat tires. This ride
is hard & heavenly! Later, cool off in a pool, or wander into town
for an ice cream or to sample more of the local brews!
|
 |
Day 7
Moab's Porcupine Rim... Ride this local epic with dynamic views of
the La Sal Mountains and Castle Rock. Locals think this is the best
ride in town...we agree! Like a phenomenal roller coaster, this
trail climbs 3 miles and summits at the canyon rim, then gives way
to miles and miles of hair raising downhill! We’ll take an evening
ride with John on his unique Unimog to the best spot in Moab to
watch the sunset, high above the Colorado River, as the end of our
adventure draws near. ($30) Click
