Moab, Utah

Moab, Utah

Located in the southeastern corner of Utah is the city of Moab. Known for many things including the annual Jeep Safari, Moab is a top destination for mountain bikers from around the world. Featuring some of the world’s most amazing landscapes, you can bike your way through canyons, over mountains and through some of the most challenging mountain bike trails on the planet. All Inclusive Excursions invites you to explore this amazing terrain on the mountain bike adventure of a lifetime.

Mountain Biking In Moab with All Inclusive Excursions

All Inclusive Excursions would like to explore a few of the amazing trails around Moab which have been drawing even the most technical mountain bikers to the area for years. Many of the trails in the Moab area are highly technical and require that you be experienced in mountain biking. Be sure that you are aware of the degree of difficulty required for the trails you choose before you go.

MOAB Brand Trails

The MOAB Brand trails offer five trails options for the mountain biker from easy to skilled riders only, depending on what you are looking for. For those who are mountain biking with their family or just not quite comfortable with their skills yet, the Bar-M Loop is a great choice. The 7.9 mile ride allows you a somewhat less challenging ride through the beautiful area of Moab. Circle-O, Rockin-A band Bar-B are a more difficult ride. With dips, turns, bumps, and slickrock, each of these trails is less than 3 miles long and requires a bit more experience in the sport of mountain biking. The area holds one trail that requires a high degree of skill in handling of a mountain bike. Aptly named Killer B, this one mile trail includes steep areas of slickrock, cliffs, loose dirt, tight turns and even steps. All Inclusive Excursions reminds you to use your common sense, do not attempt any difficult trail unless you are an experienced mountain biker. Remember all these areas are highly sensitive and you are asked to remain on the trails at all times to protect yourself and the sensitive area around you.

Some of the other trails around the Moab area are Baby Steps, Lower Monitor and Merrimac Trail, Klondike Bluffs Trail,Amasa Back Trail and Slickrock Bike Trail. Each of these trails offers the mountain biker a unique look at the area around Moab, but many have high degrees of difficulty. The Slickrock main trail, for example, is a 10.5 mile loop which takes the rider over sandstone, up and down steep ascents and requires at least 4 to 5 hours for the experienced rider to complete. If you are less experienced, it is recommended that you try the practice loop. The practice loop is just 1.7 miles long and requires a bit less skill, but as it does lead the rider near cliffs, and over loose rock and some rutted rock, you should still have a degree of skill and confidence to attempt this part of the Slickrock Trail as well.

All Inclusive Excursions Reminds You To Think Safety First

As with all adventure sports that have risk involved, All Inclusive Excursions would like to remind you to put your safety first before your adventure. There are many outfitters in the area of Moab willing to give you advice on the trails in the area, so make sure you know what you are getting yourself into before you go.

All Inclusive Excursions invites you to explore Utah on a mountain bike adventure for your next vacation.
