The destination
Moab sits at the junction of two national parks and some of the most dramatic desert terrain in North America. It's the basecamp for the Colorado Plateau — a landscape of arches, canyons, and deep river gorges.
The riding here is legendary. Slickrock trails that mountain bikers have been doing pilgrimages to for forty years sit alongside some of the most photogenic desert hikes in the country. Arches and Canyonlands parks need separate days each to do them justice.
The Colorado River threads everything together — raft trips, canyon rim drives, and riverside campsites all operate along it. Come in spring or autumn to avoid the intense summer heat and the worst of the crowds.
