We ride some of the most photographed overlooks in Utah on this up-to-four-hour tour through Dead Horse Point State Park, about 45 minutes from downtown Moab. The route strings together scenic overlook after scenic overlook on beginner-to-intermediate trails, with sweeping views down into the canyon below. It's private, so we shape the pace to your group—if part of the group wants to wrap up early, that's no problem. Since we're private, we can also finish whenever your group is ready, rather than sticking to a fixed clock. Includes bike, helmet, water bottle, snacks, and your guide.

In order to join this Moab mountain biking tour, good fitness is required, and you should be comfortable pedaling for up to four hours. Even the easier trails require enough fitness to handle some climbing. Since these tours are private, your guide will gauge your group’s skill level after booking and shape the pace and terrain to match.
Weather can add difficulty too—winters (January through April, October through December) run cold, May and June can be windy, and July through September gets extremely hot, so plan your gear accordingly. Want to see what else is there in the area?
